New post: Because EVERYONE always asks, How can I make a (C02) difference? Mechanisms for reducing carbon emissions at the grassroots indiv & community level

Although CAN isn't primarily focused on climate change and we take pains to avoid confusing the issue with air pollution, here is a new Huffington Post series by my friend, David Gershon, about how eco-teams within a community can reinforce collective behavīoral change, based on his game-changing book, The Low Carbon Diet. Be patient: the first installment in the series doesn't describe the best parts of The Diet, just the backdrop of how the concept of the Low Carbon Diet arose.

While the book's underlying premise that individual behavīoral change is commendable, let's not forget that the primary drivers of carbon reduction must always be governmental policies, which provide price cues, mandate energy efficiency and encourage investment in technology.

CAN is the #1 resource for health, news, policy about air pollution with a special focus on Hong Kong policy and events.
