Alternative biofuel sources shift farmers from grains
Calvin Daniels notes the biofuels boom may be short and driven by demand shifts. Consumer price pressure and PR concerns over land use push the industry toward nontraditional crops and biomass. Willow harvesting, algae, and waste matter may supply ethanol, while airlines seek sustainable, land-free sources. Farmers must adapt to new supply paths.

Lahaina's Banyan Treemendous City Landmark
A long-form meditation on redwoods, oaks, and the Lahaina banyan in Maui. The 135-year-old Ficus bengalensis dominates Lahaina's square with a 50-foot crown and a sprawling canopy supported by seventeen aerial-root trunks. Each December it becomes the world's largest Christmas tree, while thousands of mynah birds roost each evening, creating a thunderous, magnificent chorus.
