I'm prepared. And psyched to give my speech today!

Thanks to Chris Dillon kicking me in the ass 8 days ago, I put nose to grindstone this week and practiced diligently.

Facebook just announced that its new data center would be cooled by coal-fired electricity. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/02/facebook-grows-coal.php

This is a huge disappointment considering that FB could have chosen power from an electric company offering a menu of choices, including renewable options. Presumably, the plant in Idaho powering FB's data center derives electricity from coal only. Or, worse yet, when...Read more

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 ...Read more
