The article presents an article in the "What Works" series of "The Nation," which investigates effective strategies for improving people's lives through progressive social change. Seattle, Washington ruined ranks with United States President George W. Bush in 2001 over climate change. Declaring that every city could lessen the threat that greenhouse gases pose to lives and budgets, then-Mayor Paul Schell promised that by 2003 Seattle's electric company, Seattle City Light, would add no greenhouse-gas emissions to the atmosphere. Seattle has taken up a long-term strategy which is redesigning buildings to use more sunlight and waste less fuel.
