  • Emissions Test: Car Vs. Truck Vs. Leaf Blower Emissions Test: Car Vs
    Home / Car Reviews / Emissions Test: Car vs. Truck vs. Leaf Blower Emissions Test: Car vs. Truck vs. Leaf Blower by <A Rel="Author" Href="/About/Authors/Jason-Kavanagh.Html">Jason Kavanagh</A>, Engineering Editor December 5th, 2011 Share: Stinky Is Absolute, Not Relative Even in the complex, expensive and highly political world of emissions testing and certification, rumors are a bitch. And in California — where various government agencies bring to bear the world's toughest vehicle emissions regulations on the most dense car enthusiast population anywhere — it pays to investigate rumors. So that's what we're doing. You've probably heard stories about the emissions of today's cars being cleaner than lawn equipment, about modern cars actually cleaning the air and about the pre-emissions-control era when birds fell from the stinking sky. So have we. We're all about busting myths, so we concocted an investigation to find the truth. Forget about the birds, but those other rumors, well, we've got them covered. Big, Small and Handheld Early on, we decided to go big. We'd run this emissions test at a real-deal emissions lab rather than a smog check station or asking Magrath to inhale at the tailpipes and offer commentary on their bouquets. It would have been easy to load this test in favor of the vehicles by hand- picking the cleanest combustion-powered vehicle we could find. No, only the biggest, baddest truck will do, and they don't come much bigger or badder than the 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Crew Cab.

  • How College and University Green Landscapes Provide Havens for Wildlife and “Lands-On” Experiences for Students
    “Providing places for wildlife in our communities—whether at home, schools, businesses, or at nearby parks.... There is no more rewarding way to stay connected to nature right outside your door.” — David Mizejewski, Naturalist, National Wildlife Federation How College and University Green Landscapes Provide Havens for Wildlife and “Lands-on” Experiences for Students A NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION REPORT By Kristy Jones, Courtney Cochran, David J. Eagan, and Juliana Goodlaw-Morris Forewords by W. Daniel Svedarsky, University of Minnesota, Crookston Doug Inkley, National Wildlife Federation Section 1 The Dragonfly Garden, laid out in a circle, at the United Tribes Technical College (ND). Photo: United Tribes Technical College How College and University Green Landscapes Provide Havens for Wildlife and “Lands-on” Experiences for Students This richly detailed guide highlights how colleges and universities are playing a dynamic role protecting wildlife and restoring habitats in campus green spaces—including on-campus landscapes and natural areas, as well as distant campus-owned lands. It explores how such green places—dedicated to “The Wild”—also can benefit students, faculty, and staff with leadership opportunities, hands-on learning, energy savings, water conservation, and much more.
