Deforestation in Alaskaâs Coastal Rainforest: Causes and Solutions. by Rick Steiner. University of Alaska, October 1998. This case study will present an overview of the Alaska coastal temperate rainforest - a description of the forest; the history, extent, and causes of deforestation; and proposed solutions. It should be pointed out that this report offers only a very brief overview, and many interesting and pertinent details are omitted.
The official starting MSRP for the RAV4 EV is $49,800, before incentives. (Toyota adds $860 in destination fees.) That's a hefty price, even after considering the vehicle's qualifications for $7,500 federal tax credit, and a $2,500 rebate in California's clean vehicle program.
By Bill Jackson on June 28, 2011. The bulk of my driving was on the highway to a triathlon in Wisconsin, for a total of 398 miles. My average fuel economy was 30.8 mpg, and thatâs not bad in the days of high gas prices, especially considering the RAV4 is rated at 22 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway.Recently, Cars.com hosted the $29,000 SUV Shootout, and the Toyota RAV4 finished last.Then a few weeks ago, we got a 2011 Toyota RAV4 Sport, and all I can say after testing it is perhaps the Shootout was unfair to Toyota's cute-ute.For detailed opinion of the RAV4, you can read my expert review here.his is not to say the RAV4 is perfect. It is frumpy, it does need a refresh and, câmon Toyota, it wouldnât kill you to spruce up the interior just a little bit. I also am not a fan of the swing-out tailgate, a point on which I agree with my co-workers.
