...found out about a website launched last year that pits teams from around the country against one another in a contest to see who could be greener, they jumped on board. Her seventh-grade Royal Acorns team is Carbonrally.com's reigning champ, having saved 11.21 tons of climate-changing CO2 to date...
...That was really hard. It was overwhelmingly intense. I felt my heart suffering, my lungs suffering. The urge to breathe was overwhelming. I'm lucky I did all the training. I trained for five months, pretty hard-core. Every morning I would do CO2 exercises. I'd breathe for 48 minutes, then hold my breath for 12 minutes each hour. I'd do that about three mornings a week. I was able to beat the time I got on Oprah. But that was in a controlled environment, [with] doctors, in a swimming pool, with my body laying horizontal as opposed...
...Agriculture Organization found that livestock production generates more greenhouse gas emissions—18 percent—than the entire transport sector. This is because the gases that factory farms produce, nitrous oxide and methane, have, respectively, 292 and 23 times more Global Warming Potential than carbon dioxide. The CO2 emissions required to transport HUDS’ meats by truck from its producers in Ohio, Canada, and California don’t help either...
...underwhelming arguments. First, advocates point out that the technology reduces emissions of certain air pollutants such as mercury, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxide. Yet this apparent concern for environmental consequences obscures a lesser-known fact: Unless coal is replaced by significant amounts of biomass, gasification plants emit as much CO2 as traditional plants. To combat high emissions, Massachusetts’s Senate bill requires that gasification emissions match those of natural gas. What looks like a step in the right direction remains problematic: Ultimately, incentivizing the burning of any fossil fuel, coal or natural gas, is not environmentally sound...
...decline primarily because of decreasing rates of Amazon rain-forest deforestation, which is the main source of carbon emissions in Brazil, and increasing use of ethanol fuel. Furthermore, from 1970 to 2005 the use of ethanol in our energy mix has averted the emission of 644 million tons of CO2, the equivalent of Canada's annual emissions. When compared with the unsustainable energy patterns used in major developed countries, the Brazilian experience can be considered a model. Contrary to what the article claims, ethanol has been a central part of the solution. Antonio de Aguiar Patriota, Ambassador of Brazil...
