How sand saves the planet
It's easy to focus on how we damage our environment, but we do incredible, beneficial things too. For instance, we take sand, transform it with over 250 steps and viola! - the microchip.

That's only the tip of the iceberg - read more on the microchip from Sightline's new book, Seven Wonders for a Cool Planet.

How long can we go?
Created for Sightline's 2007 Cascadia Scorecard, this map displays results for the most important measure of health: our life expectancy. Far from being a smooth gradient, those with the shortest and longest life expectancies can live side by side. We can make dramatic improvements simply by following the example of British Columbia; if BC was independent, it would rank the second-longest lifespans of any country on earth. View the map.
