" ... measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. ... amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels ..."

"... units of tonnes (or kg) of carbon dioxide equivalent."

" ... primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions .. including domestic energy consumption and transportation ... secondary footprint is ... indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use - those associated with their manufacture and eventual breakdown. ..."

Check out the link below for a great personal carbon footprint calculator. There is also a calculator for business.

Knowing what makes up your carbon footprint gives you options to reduce its size.

Smart LED Bulbs
GE readies its 9 watt Energy Smart LED bulb for market, which will replace 40-watt general service incandescent bulbs. The new LED lighting will arrive on store shelves later this year or in early 2011 and the retail pricing is expected to be in the range of $40 to $50. ... [GE LED Bulb]

... "The new GE Energy Smart LED bulb is expected to outperform currently available products that may be underwhelming consumers right now. GE scientists and engineers designed the bulb to better direct light downward on the intended surface and all around, not just out the top of a lampshade, as most current LED bulbs are prone to do. The new GE LED bulb offers 450 lumens -- the Energy Star threshold to be considered a 40-watt incandescent replacement. Currently available LED bulbs produce 350 lumens or less. GE has filed multiple patent applications for the bulb and expects it will be an ENERGY STAR qualified LED omnidirectional light bulb. " ...

Greening the Hotel Room

Do you hate to waste energy at home? How about when you travel? Some travelers are a little less energy efficient on the road then at home. Some hotels are helping to change that ...

I remember when I was in Singapore in 1990 and the hotel had a neat way to save energy.

This completed a circuit that "turned the power on" in the room. And when you left ... you took the key and off went the power.
