THE BOATMAN’S CALL
Goolwa, Australia, is best known
for two things: yacht racing and
rabble-rousing. When a crippling
drought threatened to wipe out
the former, a salty boat-rigger
rallied his town’s fighting spirit to
bring it back from the brink.

PLAN G
In rounding up ingenious fixes for
today’s trickiest environmental
problems, our 2012 Green Issue
envisions a world in which
sidewalks power streetlights,
buildings eat smog, endangered
animals are socially networked
and the daily special is an eco-
friendly lab-grown hamburger.

THREE PERFECT DAYS:
HOUSTON
The largest city in the Lone Star
State imbues its flourishing
fine-arts institutions, adventurous
restaurants, lush parks and friendly
bars and cafés with the same
independent Texas spirit that first
put it on the map.
