...their open list about the selection of vegetarian options on the HUDS menu. “We decided to bridge the idea of sustainability and vegetarian food,” said Winthrop EcoREP Jonathan B. Steinman ’10. “Most vegetarian food has a smaller carbon footprint than meat-based food.” Steinman is also a Crimson sports writer. Serie Demelo, a HUDS general manager, emphasized that all the ingredients used at the event are normally served in the dining hall. She also said that leftover ingredients would be incorporated into the next day?...
...some spending proposals would work faster and better than others. But it's telling that House minority leader John Boehner ridicules programs to weatherize low-income homes--which would create jobs in a hurry, save poor people money in the long term and reduce the energy waste that increases carbon emissions and empowers foreign thugs.

Denmark may be a country of just 5.5 million people - about as big as a medium-sized city in China - but a fitting host of the climate change summit. Denmark has thrived while emphasizing clean energy and cutting carbon emissions - between 1980 and 2004, the country's GDP rose 56% while CO2 emissions dropped 35% - and thanks to smart policies and investment, more than a quarter of Denmark's electricity now comes from renewable sources. Danish companies also punch well above their weight in the growing wind turbine industry. To drum up global support for the summit, Hedegaard can easily...
Copenhagen will shape the environmental future of the world, but in many ways, it will determine its economic future as well.

(Though China ratified the Kyoto Protocol, it wasn't required to do anything.) Hedegaard sees hope for firm carbon targets. In the U.S., Obama has talked green early in his term, added incentives for energy efficiency and renewables to his stimulus plan and supports a domestic carbon cap-and-trade program that experts believe needs...
...asked the objector his name, the man replied, “coal kills.” Several audience members responded to this statement with applause. The interruption concluded when Schrag asked the Rising Tide representatives to leave the stage. Before the disruption, Leer promoted clean coal technologies, such as Carbon Storage and Sequestration as a means of balancing increasing global demand for electricity with a need to stabilize atmospheric carbon levels. “I try to deal with facts, I was trained as an engineer. Let’s not let the perfect...
