Laptop Battery Christopher Hardy could be a poster boy for environmental correctness. The 29-year-old walks to work, recycles his bottles, and lugs groceries home in a reusable cloth bag. He even works for the Massachusetts Audubon Society. But a study released today suggests Hardy is committing an egregious environmental sin: He's living alone.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
Thinkpad In a novel analysis of how social trends affect the environment, scientists say the proliferation of smaller households - because people are staying single longer, having fewer children, divorcing more often, and living longer - is straining the world's natural resources. A demand for more housing units creates a need for building materials, appliances, and energy, and it also produces more waste.

Microsoft Researchers say that when environmentalists talk about global degradation, they too often focus on population growth, rather than the surge in housing units. In the United States today, for instance, one of every four households is inhabited by only one person.

Desktop Computer In an article published in the advance online version of Nature, a British science journal, scientists from Michigan State University and Stanford University studied 76 ''hotspot'' countries - defined as places where native animals and plants are endangered or threatened by human activity - as well as 65 ''non-hotspot'' countries, including Canada, Germany, and Finland.
Notebooks In ''hotspot'' countries, such as the United States, Brazil, and China, the rise in the number of households from 1985 to 2000 outpaced population growth - a major factor in explaining the environmental stresses in those regions, according to the study's lead author, Jianguo Liu of Michigan State's Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. In those countries, the number of households grew by 3.1 percent each year, while the population rose 1.8 percent. In the ''non-hotspot'' countries, the population and household growth rates were about the same at 1.7 percent a year.
Lenovo Even in countries such as Italy, Greece, and Spain where the population is shrinking, the number of households is climbing. In China, where population growth has been severely curbed by the government's policy of one child per family, many young adults are staying single longer and moving away from their parents as soon as they can, Liu said.
Hard Drive Liu, who began his research in 1995 after noticing a rapid increase in new, smaller households near an environmentally fragile panda reserve in southern China, says governments should provide incentives to encourage more efficient use of living space.
Travelstar In the United States, he said, the government should consider offering tax incentives for empty-nesters to share their homes, or penalties for people who choose to live alone. Government policy should also discourage urban sprawl, he said, which disrupts the natural habitat of animals and plants. ''This can be a wake-up call for people to realize how their lifestyle impacts the environment,'' he said. ''Each household can make a difference.''
Gateway Environmental policy analysts and political activists say Liu's research is among the first to highlight how smaller households are draining the world's natural resources. It's an idea that has powerful logic, they said, but has been frequently overlooked as researchers dwell in broad population statistics.
Laptop Parts ''The problem is not just population numbers, it's consumption,'' said Jill Stein, a Lexington physician who was the Green Party candidate for governor last year.
Software Stein said some novel solutions might include cohousing developments in which people retain privacy, but also share some common spaces. Cohousing is not only better for the environment, she said, but offers emotional advantages of a village-like atmosphere for young and old. Too often, she said, people fail to see the social benefits of living in closer quarters or enjoying communal spaces.
Hard Drives Stein, who has one child in college and another still at home, said she and her husband plan to evaluate their single-family living situation when they become empty-nesters.
Electronics As a single man, Adam Sacks, another Green Party official, has found an efficient way of utilizing a four-bedroom house in Lexington. He lives with three housemates - both for its frugality and environmental benefit.
Canon ''I've always seen it as a good way to live,'' said Sacks.
Desktop Pc Cutler Cleveland, the director for the Center for Energy and Environmental Studies at Boston University, said people's lifestyle habits are hard to change, but government initiatives could make a big difference.
Desktop Computers He thinks lawmakers should consider a major tax on household energy use - which would prompt more people to share living spaces or buy smaller homes. Such a move, he said, is sure to be a political hot potato.
Think Pad ''People don't want to hear about the true cost of energy,'' he said. ''They think somewhere in the Bill of Rights we should be able to buy a gallon of gas for $1.''
Repair Hardy, director of legislative affairs for the Massachusetts Audubon Society, said he hopes to marry and have children someday, and is open to the idea of living within a cohousing or cluster housing development.
Data Recovery He said he likes the idea of re-creating some aspects of the ''New England village,'' in which people retain some privacy but share communal spaces and activities.
Cisco ''These are intriguing ideas that I'd like to explore when I get to that situation,'' he said.
