  • Munna Kailash a rickshaw driver ferries his wife, niece, and son on a shopping trip in  in Varanas, Utta Pradesh province, India,. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in the month of April was 2400 kcals. He is 45 years old; 5 feet, 6 inches; and 106 pounds. India has about 10 million cycle rickshaws, including passenger and cargo pedal carts. Although Munna owns his rickshaw, most rickshaw pullers rent from fleet owners for about $0.60 (USD) per day. A typical puller in a big city earns about $4 to $5 (USD) per day. Although slower than two-cycle smoke-spewing auto-rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws don't pollute the air, and the only heat they add to the atmosphere is from the bodies of their drivers.

  • Used tires entering a prototype burning-burning power station in Westley, California. The tires are used as fuel to run an electricity generator. It is estimated that one tire can serve the energy needs of the average northern California household for a day. A tire mountain containing around 40 million tires dominates the landscape (background); the plant is expected to burn some 4 million tires annually. Several environmental protection systems reduce emissions from the plant; a smog-control system neutralizes nitrous oxides, a scrubber system removes sulphur & a giant vacuum cleaner removes fly ash. Both the sulphur & the zinc- containing fly ash are recycled. (1988).
