...laptop. But that's beginning to change, thanks largely to initiatives coming from within the consumer electronics industry itself - with a significant push from environmentalists. A new report by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) found that the industry's top performers managed to reduce electricity use 5% to 25% per $1 million in revenue over the past three or four years. Other companies within the industry are managing to reduce their carbon emissions per million dollars of revenue or by cutting emissions outright. And the best are doing even more - the $56 billion computer maker Dell announced in August that...
...larger problem with the new caffeinated inventions is that their labels don't typically disclose how much caffeine they contain. And yet some of them are crammed with the drug: Sumseeds, a brand of caffeinated sunflower seeds, contain 120 mg of caffeine per packet, 16% more than in a typical 6-oz. serving of coffee. Shower Shock soap is designed to deliver a crackling 200 mg of caffeine when lathered into the skin, twice the amount in that same cup of coffee...
...whether the College would contribute to funding the program, which would cost $40,000 a year.

Funding could come from the UC’s budget of student activities termbill fees, the College, or both. “The ideal situation would be that we would be able to pay for this from other sources on campus,” Usui said...
...paper, these groups succeed—at least when it comes to saving their parent institution money. The science complexes in Cambridge and Longwood—usually energy hogs whose buildings use three- to eight-times more energy per square foot than other buildings across campus—avoided the emission of 416 metric tons of carbon and saved $160,000 through the Shut the Sash competition. Since the Resource Efficiency Program (REP)—a university-sposnored initiative that pays students to reach out to others about environmental matters—was founded in 2002, the College...
...College could also reward its students’ ingenuity when it comes to conserving resources and saving money. Presently, six eco-projects per year are awarded small ($150 and less) sums. By rewarding more students with greater prizes for truly valuable green acts—perhaps even on a sliding scale relative to their impact—the College would show students that it’s push for sustainability is not all smoke and mirrors...
