Posted on December 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off

A Second Life for an Old Train Tunnel Ever since the late 1970s, people have been trying to turn a 124-year-old abandoned railroad tunnel into something that pedestrians and cyclists could use (and eventually, bringing back light-rail to it). Active development started 12 years ago, and after a looooong wait, the 1.2 mile tunnel (not the best place to be if you are claustrophobic) has now been officially opened in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to commute between the Larkspur Ferry landing and San Rafael in a … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off

But the ultra-cool you’ve got to go backward to progress cargo ship first…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off

Photo: Youtube Let’s Hope it Won’t Stay Just a Commercial German car maker Volkswagen has produced a series of ads based on “fun theory”, the simple idea that if something is fun or if there’s something in it for you, you are more likely to do it than if you’re just “supposed to”.
