China to Build a Zero-Carbon Green City
gormanw writes "Just outside Shanghai, there is an island about the size of Manhattan. China is going to build its first-ever 'green city', complete with no gasoline/diesel powered vehicles, 100% renewable energy, green roofs, and recycling everything. The city is called Dongtan and it should house about 5,000 people by the end of 2010, with estimates of 500,000 by 2050. The goal is to build a livable city that is energy efficient, non-polluting, and protects the wildlife in the area."
...red and green should never be seen!

Isn't that what comes from not wearing speedos on the beach?

It's "Dongtan", which would be a good name for a nude beach.
Yeah, what an unfortunate name. I would have avoided that problem altogether and named the city Wangtan. Much better.
That sounds like a job for Tyler Durden
Didn't you know The world = The United States of America just ask any American
Real happiness lies in the completion of work using your own brains and skills.
I think the real question we should be asking wrt to diet is 'How can we make farming and agriculture a green process?'
One word: Soylent.
lol: You see no door there!
Billions more eat very little meat. A diet low in meat is normal for most of the world & something easy you can do if you want to be green.
Yeah all you have to do is be dirt poor and all you'd be to afford would be veggies with meat maybe once a month or so on a special occasion. The greens think that's a great thing though so they should all try it themselves.
