The first ever Climate Change Week is coming up in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia March 8-9 (if anyone from Malaysia reads this blog!?). A book will be launched simultaneously titled 'Cut Carbon Grow Profits' that will be highlighting leading companies and what they're doing.
Why on earth am I telling you this?
Sun will be featured in the book for the company's Eco Responsible Initiative -- both on its commitment and its leadership.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
One of my holiday gifts is a book I received from my brother-in-law, Ominivore's Dilemma.
Already on page 200, it is proving to be an eye-opening, if not somewhat disturbing, account of food. What I didn't know is that it also has a great deal to do with being eco-conscious when we choose what foods to buy at the grocery store.
Here is an interesting Did You Know that is relevant to this eco blog.
"...if the sixteen million acres now being used to grow corn to feed cows in the United States became well-managed pasture, that would remove fourteen billion pounds of carbon from the atmosphere each year, the equivalent of taking four million cars off the road. We seldom focus on farming's role in global warming, but as much as a third of all the greenhouse gases that human activity has added to the atmosphere can be attributed to the saw and the plow."
