Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.
Thanks to a rechargeable 24-volt battery, Black & Decker's Cordless Mulching Mower generates no exhaust and
a lot less noise than gas-powered models. But it's best for smaller lots: after cutting one-third of an acre of grass, the mower needs to be recharged, which takes about 12 hours.
