8888

2008-07-29T18:58:29.2650000+05:30

More often than not, even when individuals have the spirit and the determination to preserve and protect the environment, they do not have the know-how. Thus the question, “What can we do?”. It is in answer to this question that we propose ‘ 88888 Lights Out’ on the 8^th of August, 2008 at 8 pm for 8 minutes.

An ‘eight minute’ public display of unison, when everyone will switch off their lights for 8 minutes in support of the fight against ‘Global Warming’. In the run up to August 8th, we intend to build awareness on various environmental issues caused due to human activities.

Where ever you are on August 8th, kindly join the campaign by turning off your lights for 8 minutes at 8 pm. We request you to pass on the message to all your colleagues, friends & relatives and make this campaign a resounding success.

Gaps in India Inc preparedness on climate change: KPMG

2008-07-27T02:29:03.0156250+05:30

Mumbai, July 26 A KPMG report, looking to assess India Inc’s preparedness on climate change, says only 21 per cent of businesses measured their carbon dioxide emissions.

Over 70 business leaders at the CEO level were interviewed for this study. The survey found glaring gaps between good intentions and appropriate actions relating to environment.

The report said that while 83 per cent of the respondents claimed to have a fair understanding of climate change issues, only under half said they had a clear strategy in place to tackle them.

Mr Arvind Mahajan, National Industry Director (Energy, Infrastructure and Government) of KPMG said, “Developing countries like India and China are under increasing international pressure to undertake measures to limit their aggregate emission levels. While the government on its part has recently announced the National Action Plan on Climate Change, the onus is now on private businesses to do their bit.”

2008-07-22T10:22:20.2968750+05:30

The California Building Standards Commission announced on Friday the unanimous adoption of a statewide “green” building code, the first in the nation.

The new standards will call for a 20% improvement in water use efficiency for both residential and commercial plumbing fixtures as well as target a 50% increase in conservation for water used in landscaping.

The new code will also require all new construction to reduce energy consumption by 15%.

Schwarzenegger also introduced his Green Building Initiative on Friday (Executive Order S-20_04) directing state agencies to reduce energy consumption for all state-owned buildings 20% by 2015. New construction and renovation of state buildings must meet minimum requirements for LEED Silver certification. Thirteen state buildings are currently LEED certified.
