Near Andasibe, CI and its partners are working on a project that will hire local villagers to plant new trees on land that had been cleared. The benefit is two-fold: The new forests will earn carbon credits under the Kyoto Protocol, since the trees will sequester carbon dioxide that would otherwise warm the atmosphere, and eventually the forests will help rebuild the disappearing habitat for species like the indri. What's more, the project employs job-hungry villagers and gives them a financial stake in the new forests, which is key if conservation is going to work. To save...
...more local pledges to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at Harvard. Last December, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences announced it would seek to reduce its emissions to 11 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. A few months earlier, Harvard entered into a binding agreement with Massachusetts to keep future carbon emissions from its Allston campus at 30 percent of the national standard for a similar project in exchange for a potentially speedier approval process for campus construction.

...Kirbati has become a victim of environmental degradation, though it emits little in terms of carbon dioxide, the country has taken strong measures to protect the environment in the face of a paucity of resources and money. This year, Tong’s administration created the world’s largest marine reserve—400,000 square miles in size—that oceanography professor James J. McCarthy, an expert on climate change, called a “remarkable gift to the world...
...simply disappears. Though America's landfills are in no danger of filling up any time soon, taking out the trash is increasingly costly, with major cities like New York now having to truck their garbage hundreds of miles to reach an open dumping space. That means energy and carbon emissions. Chameides decided to begin his year of no trash after he visited his community's landfill. "It's nearly 40 miles away, and they have 13,000 tons of trash coming in every day," he says. "It's going to close in seven years, and then they'll have...
...government. Contrary to Perry's comments, CTL and GTL fuels are likely to play a major role in the future. This is why so many different countries are commissioning plants to produce them. Why didn't Perry look a little deeper into what Sasol is doing to reduce its carbon footprint instead of just bad-mouthing its efforts? It is public knowledge that Sasol is devoting considerable resources and funds to develop new and noncarbon energy solutions. Max Braun, SOMERSET, SOUTH AFRICA
