Is a 40% reduction in emissions possible?
Posted on 25 August 2009.
by: Dr. Eban Goodstein
The PCAP calls for reductions in emissions in the US of 40% below current levels by 2020: that is 4% per year, every year. Can you imagine, how, over a 10-year period, you could reduce your own use of fossil fuels by 40%? (Think about heating, driving, airplane travel…) What would be needed for the US as a whole to achieve this goal?

Electricity was in the air
Posted on 21 October 2008.
Electricity was in the air on Sunday, August 19th as Urban Re:Vision took to the streets to bring a jolt of sustainability to San Francisco’s Bayview District with our many volunteers distributing approximately 700 energy-efficient CFL bulbs free of charge to neighborhood residents. With a very generous donation of the CFL bulbs by the forward-thinking folks at Cole Hardware (www.colehardware.com – the BEST hardware store in San Francisco) the event not only helped highlight the benefits of energy conservation but will provide the residents a collective savings of approximately $13,000 in electric bills over the course of one year. A win-win situation for everyone!
