Shopping All the Way to the Woods: How the Outdoor Industry Sold Nature to America
A framework for assessing the contribution of UK local authorities toward compliance with the EU ambient air quality directive
Implementation outcomes of the Ambient Air Quality Directive (AAQD) (2008/50/EC)) are weak across European Union (EU) member states. In the UK, Local Authorities (LAs) must work toward reducing air pollution, however, means of assessing the extent and effectiveness of their contribution are limited. This paper develops a framework to evaluate policies implemented by UK LAs to address air pollution and applies it to Air Quality Action Plans (AQAP)…
Such business will be impossible”: Mitsubishi Trading Company and the roles of design and tariff policy in the American bicycle market (1933–1938)
During the 1930s Mitsubishi Shoji Kaisha, a Japanese trading conglomerate, attempted to foster a market for adult bicycles in America. They promoted bikes manufactured by Nichibei Shoten (including Fuji, a brand eventually known worldwide). These imported designs were rare for the American market, reflecting European and Japanese use of the bicycle as urban transportation for adults, instead of American predilections for bicycles designed for chi…
Roadside Americans: The Rise and Fall of Hitchhiking in a Changing Nation
In Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971), a road trip begins with a terrorized hitchhiker and ends with reflection on the ruins of the 1960s. Driving out of California, picking up hitchhikers along the way, Thompson's Raoul Duke perceives how American culture resisted transformation: “you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back” (Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las V…

Air Quality Action Plans: Early indicators of urban local authority practice in England
A Comparative Analysis of the Air Quality Management Challenges and Capabilities in Urban and Rural English Local Authorities
Local authorities in Great Britain have (in the main) completed their air quality review and assessments, the aim of the process being the identification of local hotspots where national air quality objectives are not likely to be met. Across Great Britain approximately 120 Air Quality Management Areas are in the process of being declared. Local authorities, in partnership with others, are required to write and implement an action plan outlining …
Reducing Residential Carbon Intensity: The New Role for English Local Authorities
The residential sector is a substantial source of CO 2 in the UK, accounting for over 25 per cent of all end-use emissions. Improvements in energy efficiency are often cited as important elements of carbon reduction packages, with policy-makers emphasising the significant `untapped' potential of improved energy use in the home. The design and implementation of policies at a local level have a particularly important role to play, recognised by nat…
The employment implications of a low-carbon economy
The threat of global warming and unacceptable levels of unemployment are two items high on policy agendas in the 1990s. Increasing emphasis on ‘sustainable development’ ensures that debate surrounding the relationship between jobs and the environment is kept under the research microscope. In the past, the supposed incompatibility of environmental protection and employment was a fairly deep-rooted and little-contested belief. However, recent ‘revi…
Struggling with Sustainability: Weak and Strong Interpretations of Sustainable Development within Local Authority Policy
In recent years there has been a growing interest in sustainable development as a guiding principle to allow the integration of economic development and the environment within policy and strategy. At all levels of policymaking a major emphasis has been placed upon the local scale as the most appropriate for the delivery of such policies and initiatives, with a particular stress upon local authorities as the major delivery mechanism. Though it is …
