Found a great website that works out carbon footprints. I thought I was doing ok…..apparently not.
I scored 2.3 planets.
How did you do??

Hennie, do you have to be such a stuck in the mud?
Cities and developers across the globe recognize that they can increase asset value and attract business/people through sustainable development. Sustainable development includes improving esthetics, mobility, the environment, and energy systems. The US census determined that 80% of the population now lives in cites, up from 40% one hundred years ago. The Brookings Institution’s Metropolitan Policy Program reports that approximately 50% of the buildings that will exist in 2030 have yet to be designed. This represents a tremendous opportunity to apply sustainable development concepts. Unless cities and developers are provided with alternatives to the current energy production, distribution, and supply system; fossil fuel energy consumption will surge by 34 quads while renewable sources increase by only 3 quads over the next 23 years . This continued emphasis on fossil fuels is expected to increase carbon emissions by over 2200 million metric tons over this same period. Through partnerships with private sector, universities, and governments; companies can finance, design, and build more efficient, smarter, and esthetically pleasing energy systems. Archimedes said “give me a lever long enough and I can move the world”. Cities and developers can provide this lever by integrating sustainable energy models and practices into community development and redevelopment projects. This includes efficient land use design, technology ready infrastructure, transit oriented development …
I’m doing an activity to increase environmental awareness among kids and I’ve planned to show them a video related to the environment. Can anybody tell me where can I download that kind of videos for free? Something that’s suitable and effective for 6 year old kids. Something that will catch their attention and not bore them?

Complete video at: fora.tv Amory Lovins argues that reducing carbon emissions would be doable and profitable if the focus was on energy efficiency. He says the US is already cutting its energy intensity without even trying. “Everybody I can think of the last forty years or so who has done energy efficiency has made money at it.” —– It is now generally agreed that human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases are very likely to cause global warming. This will have serious consequences in the next fifty to one hundred years. What should be done? Some economists argue that taking steps now to mitigate this problem is likely to drive up energy costs and result in reduced economic growth. They suggest that in the interests of economic equality - and particularly to foster economic growth in developing countries - it is better to let growth happen as quickly as possible and rely on future increased technological capacities to solve the problem. Others argue that we need immediate and decisive action on this issue. - Whole Earth Films Amory Lovins is the Cofounder and CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

Pie Chart vs. Cake Chart
Hello, my name is Pietro and I am a Travel and Tourism student at St. Charles Catholic Sixth Form College. At the moment we are doing a report about some themes in tourism, I have chosen ‘’ the expansion of airports and how they affect people and the environment ’’.
I need to use different methods of research for my report.
I would be very pleased if you help me with my work
Thanks for your time, Pietro
Q. Where is regional airport expansion taking place?
Q. Why are airports expanding?
Q. What are the likely impacts on people and the environment?
