In addition to economic costs, the report says that 3. 3 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases enter the atmosphere from the production of uneaten food
In a 2010 lifecycle assessment analyzing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with using high-strength steel and aluminum for lightweighting vehicles,
it would take four to 10 years of travel before the wheel to tank greenhouse savings met
and surpassed the greenhouse expenditure associated with the aluminum's production. This all assumes that the aluminum used in this vehicle is mined from ore rather than recycled.
and greenhouse gas emissions, compared to the vehicle we modeled, he says. Another lifecycle assessment to be published at a Society of Automotive engineers meeting in April suggests that aluminum-intensive vehicle design has a greater potential to reduce emissions
Increasing fuel efficiency is vitally important for reducing the overall transportation sector's overall greenhouse gas emissions.
Cities contribute 70 percent of global greenhouse-gas emissionscities are places of great efficiency, innovation,
they account for a staggering 70 percent of greenhouse-gas emissions. Cities are responsible for the majority of our harmful greenhouse gases.
But they are also places where the greatest efficiencies can be made. This makes it imperative that we understand the form
The urban economy types of economic activities and whether these emit large quantities of greenhouse gases;
the Greenhouse project proves that a waste free restaurant is achievable. As part of this year's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival program, the Greenhouse uses the by-products of agriculture for insulation
and energy and is made from materials that are completely and easily recycled, natural and nontoxic.
 The Greenhouse employs the unique Productive Building System, devised by Baker himself (patent pending);
the Greenhouse building can quickly be assembled or dismantled when and where required. The building is insulated with locally sourced straw bales (one of the world's largest waste products)
which allows the Greenhouse to store carbon within its walls. The Mgo is a strong, environmentally friendly building material that is one tenth the carbon footprint of fiber cement sheet.
The inside of the greenhouse will be anything but ordinary. Four-metre-high stacks of growing trays on motorized conveyors will ferry plants up, down and around for watering,
The greenhouse will cover less than half of the available space on the rooftop leaving open the possibility that a second,
equally productive greenhouse can be built in the future. If you're going to plague a high-density downtown with a parking garage,

One example centers on Disney's greenhouse gas emissions. Even though the company has set a zero net goal for direct greenhouse gas emissions over the long term
it actually reported a slight increase of 0. 5 percent between 2009 and 2010. Between 2006 (its baseline year) and 2010, Disney has managed a cumulative 4. 6 percent decrease.

The Chamber's lawsuit challenges the wisdom of regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act,
which was created not to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. So, at this point I'm thinking about all the times--this year alone--our legislators have backed away from doing something about the environment.
