Sandor advocated an emissions trading program similar to the one he'd put forward for acid rain, and his thoughts helped shape the Kyoto Protocol, which requires developed nations to reduce their emissions and created a carbon trading and offset market to speed that process along. In the late 1990s he began formulating the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), a private emissions trading market, to take advantage of the changes he assumed would be coming when the U.S. ratified Kyoto. Of course, that never happened, but Sandor still launched...
Sandor's idea was so successful that he was asked to the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 to help design a program to finance reductions in carbon emissions. Sandor remembers the time fondly. "It reminded me of my days at Berkeley," he says. "There was more tie-dye than at a Grateful Dead concert. I was sitting on the beach and having a caipirinha, and I said, 'We could do this...
While looking for bacteria living in the soil that could remove toxins from cellulose and other decaying plant matter, the researchers used antibiotics as an experimental control and discovered that many strains of bacteria were able to survive on antibiotics as their sole source of carbon...
...following our own advice. Time Inc. is the industry leader in sustainable development, and we are the first U.S. publisher to measure the carbon footprint of our entire supply-and-disposal chain, from logging operations to landfill. We have increased the percentage of our paper that comes from sustainably managed forests, from 25% to 69%. We have asked our paper companies to reduce CO2 emissions at least 20% by the year 2012. And we're co-sponsoring a campaign called Remix to promote the recycling of our magazines. These efforts have been led by Time Inc. CEO Ann Moore...
...global warming, for instance, he and Senator Joe Lieberman introduced a cap-and-trade system to limit carbon emissions 60% below 1990 levels by 2050. McCain's recent body language indicates he would not be nearly as comprehensive as the Democrats; he probably would not, for example, auction off the right to pollute for major corporate spewers - which could raise significant funds for alternative-energy research. But the old McCain-Lieberman plan had the look of a half-a-loaf compromise that could eventually get through Congress - and take the global-warming issue off the table in the election...
