Most of the time it happens that they mix up everything they do when they want to communicate their carbon-footprint approach. They should focus on these points:1 - focus on one topicIf you want to talk about carbon footprint only http://ecoadvisor.blogspot.com/2008/12/how-to-focus-on-carbon-footprinting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529972823113251121.post-3090466661277349834Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:01:00 +00002010-05-19T12:56:36.443+02:00ChinaSuprisingly I found a huge variety of hybrid vehicles througout China. Not only that a lot of cars had CNG or LPG (mainly cabs). Also almost every smaller motorbike had an electric power system. It seems that whole Beijing was changing their bikes in preparation of the Olympic Games.http://ecoadvisor.blogspot.com/2008/12/hybrids-in-china.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529972823113251121.post-8602091976593504577Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:58:00 +00002010-05-19T12:56:55.805+02:00ChinaGreenHong KongAlthough China is not famous for world-leading low-carbon technologies, especially big cities really like the topic. Walking through HongKong shows you on every house and in every store another story about "climate-awareness". Sometimes it's for sure pure marketing - like the "I Love Green" shop I found which turned out to be a drugstore.

The results among the 10 analyzed calculators varied by as much as several metric tons. Also the majority of the calculators lack of a proper information about the methodology and estimations behind the calculation.http://ecoadvisor.blogspot.com/2008/08/carbon-calculators-identical-values-but.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8529972823113251121.post-1504387726969257524Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:43:00 +00002008-12-09T07:01:19.135+01:00A new report from the Forum of the Future explores carbon labelling of products and the effects on shopping behaviour. I read about it at the ClimateBiz Newsletter.Especiall the UK companies are very active setting standards and defining labels. Therfore also the UK customers are quite familiar with those new labels but on the other hand - as all of us - quite unsure how to rate them.

He is facing the problem that his colleagues think that he went crazy since he thinks about "green design". Talking about sustainable or green is not only a trick to sell products to the young LOHAS-community. Normally you have to think about a proper production, a low-energy usage and a simple recycling anway.

According to a new report from Forrester Research one of the five Green IT trends will be the end-of-live managment.This means that initiatives in the IT will also stretch to other parts of the company. More and more divisions of the companies have ongoing or at least planned "green projects".

But at least in the voluntary market it is quite nebulous how they made the first step of this process: the calculation of their CO2-emissions.Many of them simply take the energy-bill from the last year and multiply the kilowatt hours with some emission factors they found in the internet.http://ecoadvisor.blogspot.com/2008/03/how-should-i-measure-my-carbon.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)0
