The Ray Is a Stretch of Highway Paving the Way for the Future of Motoring

To see the future of motoring, point a flashlight toward electrified and autonomous vehicles (and sometimes a combination of both). But other technologies are being developed under a smaller spotlight. “The Ray” is an 18-mile stretch of west Georgia’s I-85 highway, including the surrounding land and community — and the future of cars is being dreamed up on its pavement.

This 18-mile Stretch of Georgia Highway Is a Living Laboratory for Clean Energy

It’s not often that captains of industry have epiphanies about climate change.

Cleaning the Built Environment After the Big Celebration

The city of Philadelphia’s football team won the big game for the first time ever and its long-suffering fan base celebrated the victory in kind. In February, the city held a massive parade for its football team, a turnout that some estimated teetered over 700,000 people. With this great turnout came its inevitable byproduct: trash. Lots of trash. Roughly 90 tons of trash, the most the city has ever generated for a single event and nearly double its previous record of 58 tons for a victory parade for its baseball team in 2008.

Philadelphia came prepared. The city’s Department of Streets mobilized a team of 300 workers, using 100 kinds of equipment, to follow the procession of the parade to clean up the immediate aftermath.
