UK DEVELOPS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS When the United Kingdom ratified the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, it was taking a lead from continental Europe.

RUSTIC CABIN ESSENCE During the Great Depression of the 1930s, The Civilian Conservation Corps built countless structures in U.S. state and national parks, providing jobs to unemployed youth.
