POPSCalculating, Reducing and Offsetting Your Carbon Footprint By being aware of our Carbon Footprint we can begin to reduce it and thereby reduce our impact on the planet. Use the online carbon footprint calculator to obtain an estimate of your personal greenhouse gas emissions and get some carbon reducing tips.

POPSbuffalo does nothing to reduce carbon footprint A shame. There is still a press release about mayor Brown signing this agreement after he took office, but we still have no action plan in place. The city is concerned about attracting green business, but there has been little effort to create sweeping changes that are necessary to develop the type of community these sought-after businesses would like to move into. Buffalo is not conducive for green business the way it is right now, because there is just too much work to be done. We have no green infrastructure. Hardly any workers skilled in green jobs, construction, too few citizens who have any idea what it is to live sustainably— we hardly recycle, our rainwater still blends with our shit, and permeable pavement is practically illegal in the hippest neighborhood we have.

POPSOffsetting carbon offsets Aren't you pissed off? I have an idea. This would be a company that receives payments to support the usage of fossil fuels to offset the ridiculous carbon offset scams that are fraudulently bilking morons out of their money. Here is how it would work. If your carbon footprint is lower than Al Gore's, then you pay carbon offset offsets to projects that increase the use of fossil fuels for the purpose of increasing your carbon footprint to equal that of Al Gore's. Is this NOT BRILLIANT? And get this, it is not a scam. It is helping to defeat a scam and render the practice of scammers useless.

POPSReduce your carbon footprint and save money with easy online training Are you confused about carbon footprint, carbon trading and carbon accounting? It is not surprising. The rules for Carbon Trading are still being set up and there are so many grey areas. The best option if you are not one of the major emitters with immediate trading requirements is to work out how to reduce your carbon footprint and you will find that this saves you money as you reduce the waste.

POPSHey Al, turn down the AC, Sheesh! Hypocrites, all of them. How does the guy who wins a Nobel Peace prize for predicting our demise due to global warming actually increase his energy consumption and thus his carbon footprint while telling the little people to reduce theirs? The better question is now do the environ"mentalists" not hold him accountable and why does the liberal media ignore it?

POPSMajor solar initiative in California This is a huge deal - highlighting the opportunity for utilities to embrace alternative sources of energy (such as solar and wind) to meet their customer's energy needs. “By harnessing the clean, renewable energy of the sun that is abundant in California, these innovative solar projects are helping to meet our long-term energy and climate change goals,” Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said. “These projects are evidence that California’s ingenuity is spurring a clean tech boom that will bring companies and investment dollars to California while reducing the state's carbon footprint.” Why in the world don't words like that come from our President??? All he wants to talk about is drilling for more oil!

POPSResearchers Generate Hydrogen Without The Carbon Footprint Grimes and his team produce hydrogen from solar energy, using two different groups of nanotubes in a photoelectrochemical diode. They report in the July issue of Nano Letters that using incident sunlight, "such photocorrosion-stable diodes generate a photocurrent of approximately 0.25 milliampere per centimeter square, at a photoconversion efficiency of 0.30 percent." "It seems that nanotube geometry is the best geometry for production of hydrogen from photolysis of water," says Grimes
