Here's some thinky reading for your Monday:
Hugh Bartling reports
on a
design competition
to make central Arizona's strip malls greener and more people-friendly without tearing them down. Ideas range from a
robotic parking tower
to a
billboard that provides the complex with solar power and shade
to a
permeable roof of solar panels over the whole thing
.
Slate has a story on how
not all subprime lenders are predatory scum
.
Mark Bittman has
a plan to save the world's fisheries from collapse
: stick to eating better (wild-caught) fish, less often.
I'm sure everybody will be happy to hear that
the US Supreme Court has upheld the Bill of Rights by a vote of 5 to 4
.
