How Big
is Your CO2 Footprint?
Last week, the World Resources
Institute launched SafeClimate.net (www.safeclimate.net),
a web site where visitors can take decisive action to address global warming.
SafeClimate.net challenges individuals and organizations to calculate the size
of their own carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint and pledge to reduce it by taking
one or more actions outlined on the site. Visitors to the site can
purchase climate-friendly products on-line, sign up for green energy, learn
about energy efficiency tips for their home and office, send letters to
policymakers, and read the latest in climate change news.
"We don't have to wait for our government to lead. SafeClimate.net
provides the opportunity for concerned citizens and organizations to do their
part and demonstrate their concern on this issue," said Jonathan Lash, WRI
president. "Every step toward carbon reduction is a meaningful one in
reducing the threat of global warming."

SafeClimate.net is a project of the World Resources Institute (WRI). WRI
is an environmental think tank that goes beyond research to create practical
ways to protect the Earth and improve people's lives.
