Car. Kaya. Digital Roam: Everyday Low Pixels, II. A big project (big for a small business like mine, anyway) that I worked with Wal-Mart's sustainability team to create launched today. Sustainability: Starting the Journey is a Flash 8 sitelet designed to help clarify the global retailer's environmental and business sustainability initiatives and to set the baseline for the energy consumption and carbon emissions metrics that they will be reporting on over the coming years. The site launched in conjunction with The Carbon Diclosure Project's 4th Annual Report meeting held on Monday at the New York offices of Merrill Lynch. At this meeting, the CDP announced several milestones in businesses becoming more transparent in their reporting of carbon emissions: This year's report saw the highest-ever response rate, with 72%, or 360 of the FT500 companies responding, up from 47% of the companies that responded when CDP first surveyed the FT500 in 2003.
What Tools Should I Use To Make Tracking Easier? Carbon Accounting. Fleischer: Green eLearning Archives. I am starting a new category on Green eLearning in my blog and over the next few weeks, I will post several tips that can help streamline workflows and reduce learning footprint (the nice thing: it also reduces cost). As part of this blog entry series, I would like to highlight organizations that have successfully implemented sustainable strategies in their learning practices. Please submit your green learning stories in the comments field below. I am looking especially for success stories with achieved cost savings and CO2 reductions as well as new hardware that helped meet your goals. So, here is my first tip: The first step in reducing your learning footprint is knowing how much CO2 you or your group actually generate.
Luckily, there are plenty of calculators available online that help you estimate your learning footprint - check out learningfootprint.com.

By Amy Sample Ward | Oct. 13, 2009 How can we and how are we using social media tools for social change? That’s the question that the monthly #4Change chats (that take place on Twitter) address, this month focusing on the Climate Change movement. This was a very lively conversation, filled with examples and experiences from people involved in climate change organizations and campaigns leveraging social media in their work. “Social media is all about moving people up the ladder of engagement” (@JeffM2001) and is designed “to inspire (and to have lasting effect)—build fields and bridges, not brands” (@tropology).
These points and the full #4Change conversation are applicable to the Climate Change movement, but also to many social impact sectors and the campaigns reaching around the world. So, what are the biggest lessons for using social media in a global movement? There were three main lessons or focus areas that emerged in the discussion. Lesson #1: Voice Lesson #2: Action. What is Kaya's equation ?

There would be a link between all those figures, that a number of experts - physicists, economists, engineers, demographs - all appreciate to discuss in their own field ? An simple equation, absolutely wonderful because it is precisely so simple (and, as we will see, so awful for the same reason), allows to show how these notions can be linked to one another, even though one might "not seen the point". All that follows derives from the simple fact - that generations of high school students surely remember ! Our first equation couldn't be more simple. So far, everyone should follow !
What is the point ? Indeed, the ratio (CO2/TOE) bears the name of "carbon content of energy": it is the amount of CO2 that we must let go in the atmosphere to get a given amount of energy for our activities.

The following reports focus on some of the key issues confronting businesses as they address the climate change challenge. The reports (all pdfs) were produced by companies, investment firms and other non-governmental organzations and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Center.
The following reports are from other nongovernmental organizations and companies and are organized under seven categories: Corporate Governance Ceres: Corporate Governance and Climate Change: Consumer and Technology Companies (December 2008). This Ceres report is the first comprehensive assessment of how 63 of the world’s largest consumer and information technology companies are preparing themselves to face this colossal challenge.
The report employs a “Climate Change Governance Framework” to evaluate how 48 US companies and 15 non-US companies are addressing climate change through board oversight, management execution, public disclosure, GHG emissions accounting and strategic planning and performance. Greenhouse Gas Protocol » All tools. 22 Carbon Management Software Firms You Should Know Abo. Yep, there are actually 22 firms selling software to help companies and governments manage their carbon footprints. And most of them are older, established companies (here’s our previous list of 10 Carbon Management Startups). Research firm Verdantix put together an extensive list of 22 carbon management software companies and ranked them in categories according to customer wins and features.
Verdantix predicts that by 2011, the carbon management software industry will start to boom, rising from $120 million that year to $250 million in 2012, as companies realize that Microsoft Excel and utility bills — the most common way to calculate carbon footprints right now — are ineffective and difficult to use. By that time, I’d predict that the carbon management market will start to consolidate and some very clear leaders will move far ahead, and others will get bought up or will go under. Already, one company in Verdantix’s “Leaders” category bought up another one.

C02 Forrug Tog Kontra Bil Danish National Railways have added a CO2 calculator to their travel planner so when searching for a trip passengers can compare the C02 emissions of the train journey with the equivalent journey undertaken by car. This Google Earth plugin tour follows the route of a train from København (Copenhagen leaving at 08:50 AM) to Aalborg in North Jutland.
The tour shows all of the train's stops and an image overlay at each station shows the C02 emissions of the train (green) and a car (red). The tour is accompanied by a song called La Trilogie (Part 1). Since the Google Earth plugin does not fully support all the animation features of Google Earth the tour creator has also created a KMZ file.USA C02 Emissions from Fossil Fuel This Google Earth plugin map from the Vulcan Project shows U.S. fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2002.
