I like what WWF is doing with their Climate Savers program: <a href="" rel="nofollow">http://www.worldwildlife.org/climate/climatesavers2.html</a> where companies volunteer to curb their emissions and set their own goals. Probably the most impressive of the Climate Savers’ efforts is JohnsonDiversey, who originally promised an 8% GHG reduction over 10 years (2003-2013), and just recently announced they are tripling that to a 25% reduction. I watched some of the Copenhagen talks by their CEO (<a href="" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/jdaction</a>) and they’ve taken it even farther in honor of COP15 – announcing they’ll assess a carbon footprint for all of their products and make that info public. I think if every business on the planet put forth the same effort it would create more change than government could ever dream of producing.ochantnoreply@blogger.com
