This Month in Outside

Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson in Santa Barbara (Jeff Lipsky)

F E A T U R E S

IT'S NOT GETTING ANY COLDER
Hybrid cars and efficient lightbulbs are a start, but they won't solve our environmental crisis. The heat is on, and it's time to get serious in a hurry.
BY BILL McKIBBEN

WALK TALL AND ACT NATURAL
Jack Johnson devotes as much time to green projects as he does to his music. He succeeds at both with authenticity, optimism, and an instinct for where the wave is headed next.
BY JON COHEN

THE WEST WILL RISE AGAIN
The name Udall is synonymous with grand ideas in American conservation. Now two sons of that political dynasty, Mark and Tom, are running for the U.S. Senate. Do they have what it takes to saddle up?
BY MARK SUNDEEN

THE FUTURE IS BRILLIANT
The best environmental ideas are also good business. In a tour of innovative new technologies, we preview stackable electric cars, sci-fi-worthy planes, and a radical plan to redesign the streets of NYC for a leaner, greener Gotham.

RED IS THE NEW GREEN  View Cuba Photo Gallery
Visionary eco-politics! The richest biodiversity in the Caribbean! Is it possible that Cuba, our little Commie neighbor to the south, has a few lessons for its gas-guzzling North American friends?
BY PATRICK SYMMES

AL NEEDS SOME COPILOTS
Some made their names in music or Hollywood, others by devoting their lives to the cause. Whatever their pedigrees, this year's Eco-All-Stars are using the right tools for the job—pragmatism, marketing savvy, and hard work.

WAKE THEM UP WITH A SPLASH Watch Grand Canyon Imax Video View Gallery
The Colorado River is in trouble. What better way to focus the issues than on 70-millimeter film? Ride along with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., anthropologist Wade Davis, and Imax director Greg MacGillivray as they shoot a Grand Canyon documentary that's sure to make a splash.
BY MICHAEL ROBERTS
