Climate Week 2010 Kicks Off

I just attended the kickoff event for Climate Week NYC...the launch of the Global 500 and S&P 500 Carbon Disclosure Project Reports - http://www.cdproject.net/. CEOs, UN negotiators, and government representatives were all saying the same thing: we have a moral imperative to act, and there is a business opportunity in the" green race". The key now is for industries and cities to move forward with implementing carbon reduction plans, since larger governments aren't rushing to set the targets they need to...we (the voters, consumers, companies) need to push them in the right direction by our actions.  Another key point...we have the technology, so let's use it!

More later...and if you are in the NYC area, be sure to check out the Climate Week action this week!
