With good directions, anyone can find the right path. That’s what George Mason University Professor Nicole Darnall is hoping with her new report that gives clear guidelines on how the government can help businesses “go green” and how being green will even help companies financially in the long-run.
According to Darnall, companies don’t green their production processes because there are unclear and mixed messages about how doing so will benefit them and their bottom line.
“Many companies want to ‘do the right thing’ and undertake green production in some form, however they don’t know how or lack a compelling reason to do so,” says Darnall, an associate professor of corporate sustainability and public policy.
In her report, “What …

The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, the latest Royal Society report has found.
The report (published 1st September, by the Royal Society(1), the UK’s national academy of science) found that unless future efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are much more successful than they have been so far, additional action in the form of geoengineering will be necessary if we are to cool the planet.
Geoengineering technologies were found to be very likely to be technically possible and some were considered to be potentially useful to augment the continuing efforts to mitigate climate change by reducing emissions. However, the report …
The future of the Earth could rest on potentially dangerous and unproven geoengineering technologies unless emissions of carbon dioxide can be greatly reduced, a new study has found.
The report (published September 1, by the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of science) found that unless future efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are much more successful than they have been so far, additional action in the form of geoengineering will be necessary to cool the planet. However, the report identified major uncertainties regarding the effectiveness, costs, and environmental impacts of geoengineering technologies.
“Reducing our greenhouse gas emissions is more important than ever,” said coauthor Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology, “but even …
