Shopping. [D]Even in an era of online marketing, there may still be a mall, but it will be relatively small and easy to get to

[D] Even in an era of online marketing, there may still be a mall, but it will be relatively small and easy to get to, with sidewalks and bike racks instead of a parking lot. An airy place where a flood of natural light will cut down on energy use, the mall will be two-way operation: when you’re through using any product you buy there, the stores will be required to take it back for recycling.

Energy

[E] Our power will come from sources cleaner than fossil fuels. Some energy will flow from modern-day windmills, but much of it will be generated in our own homes. Rooftop solar panels will supply electricity to our appliances and to a basement fuel cell, which will produce hydrogen. When the sun is not shining, the cell will operate in reverse, using the hydrogen to make electricity.

Waste

[F] Sewage will be piped into enclosed marshes, where selected plants, fish, snails, and microbes will purify the wastewater before it enters streams and reservoirs. No longer will inadequate treatment of wastewater promote algae blooms that threaten other aquatic life.

scourge - бич, кара, наказание

algae – водоросли
