...waste-reducing initiatives to reduce its environmental footprint. Local produce, for instance, has many benefits that most undergraduates frequently ignore. Besides the fact that locally grown produce is invariably fresher and tastier than the same stuff grown in Mexico, buying locally supports local agriculture. It also substantially reduces the fossil-fuel consumption necessary for transport...
...donation is also a milestone for the environmental movement, which is forcing multibillion dollar companies to confront an unpleasant reality from the ground-up. The very source of KSG’s latest donation, Shell, illustrates the transformation of fossil fuel behemoths into supporters of future green energy research. Shell is by no means alone: Other giants like Exxon-Mobil and British Petroleum (BP) have also focused on research on more efficient energy sources and better policies. In fact, for several years now, BP has been cleverly marketing itself as “Beyond Petroleum...

Universal greed for profits regardless of further consequences will be our doom. At this juncture, I'm ashamed to be part of the human race. Leah Epstein, Golan Heights, Israel...

...national political action on the issue--and the authors insist that won't change as long as environmentalism remains wedded to what they call the "politics of limits." Mandatory emission cuts alone won't be enough to drive the kind of innovation needed to break the world of its fossil-fuel habit--and China and India will never sign on to caps that could limit economic growth. Instead, Nordhaus and Shellenberger argue for Apollo-program-style government investment in clean-energy research, on the order of $30 billion a year. It's a smart, if not wholly original idea...
