The term “greenbelt” refers to any area of undeveloped natural land that has been set aside near urban or developed land to provide open space, offer light recreational opportunities, or contain development. And, yes, the natural greenbelts along areas of Southeast Asia’s coastlines, including the region’s mangrove forests, served as buffers and helped to prevent even greater loss of life from the December 2004 tsunami. The Importance of Greenbelts in Urban Areas Greenbelts in and around urban areas have probably not saved any lives, but they are important nonetheless to the ecological health of any given region....

A while back we looked at the question Which is greener, a gas or an electric stove? We concluded that if you live in a part of the world with relatively clean electricity, then an electric induction range is greener, both for its carbon footprint and because of indoor air quality. But I always assumed that when it got right down to the cooking, ignoring the source of the energy and the air quality issues, gas was going to be faster and more efficient....

A groomed, grassy field can be good for certain uses, like sports or picnics. But for broader “ecosystem services”—things like plant pollination, pest control, soil quality, and climate regulation—the smart money is in meadows. Meadows are more than just unmowed lawns, though.
