Environmental challenges surround the places in which we work and the cars we use to get there. Featured are a look at “sick building syndrome” and the design of new office buildings for the 21st century; and a visit with a chemical plant that has found solutions for controlling waste emmisions. The auto industry's trend toward 100% recyclability is illustrated by one man's profitable attempt to instill new life into old plastic bumpers; and a visit to a high school shop class where tomorrow's mechanics tackle the creation of a high-powered electric car.
