Precycle! Six easy ways to reduce your impact. Precycling is the first step to waste reduction-- it makes your recycling even easier and saves time and money by eliminating the need to recycle. Precycling focuses on reducing and reusing. The amount that you need to recycle is reduced by buying products that can be reused. This includes buying in bulk or buying products that come in containers that can be reused once they are empty. Precycling also includes shopping for products that come in containers that can be recycled safely and efficiently if and when they are not reusable.

Resources and Environment The purpose of this web site is to point to the necessity of dramatically improving resource productivity in the decades to come in order to avoid, that the ongoing growth in global material consumption will lead to environmental disaster. Improving resource productivity means using fewer natural resources in production and application per service unit of material consumption.

Scenarios of U.S. Carbon Reductions This report presents the results of a study conducted by five U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories that quantifies the potential for energy-efficient and low-carbon technologies to reduce carbon emissions in the United States. The study documents in detail how four key sectors of the economy—buildings, transportation, industry, and electric utilities—could respond to directed programs and policies to expand adoption of energy-efficiency and low-carbon technologies, an increase in the relative price of carbon-based fuels by $25 or $50/tonne (e.g., as a result of a cap on domestic carbon emissions and a market for carbon "permits"), and an aggressive program of targeted research and development. Current projections suggest that a carbon emissions reduction of 390 million metric tons per year (MtC/year) is required to stabilize U.S. emissions in 2010 at 1990 levels.
Sierra Club The Sierra Club is a non-profit member-supported, public interest organization that promotes conservation of the natural environment by influencing public policy decisions--legislative, administrative, legal, and electoral.
Sierra Club vs. Global Warming: Film at 11 While polluting industries assail the science confirming climate change and go so far as to propose rewriting environmental law, the Sierra Club presses ahead with public education and positive solutions to global warming. From publicizing its economic impacts in a new study to producing informational video clips for local weather programs, global warming team staff and volunteers are intensifying their public awareness strategy.

State Environmental Goals and Indicators Project (SEGIP) The State Environmental Goals and Indicators Project (SEGIP) is a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Center for Public Management to assist state environmental agencies in improving their environmental management capabilities by providing procedural, technical and limited financial assistance in the development and use of environmental goals and indicators. The Project acts as a clearinghouse for public sector environmental indicator practitioners at different governmental levels.
State Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs) The State PIRGs are a national, non-profit, non-partisan network of state-based, member-supported public interest watchdogs.
Student Environmental Action Coalition (SEAC) SEAC -- pronounced "seek," as in "seeking" -- is a student run and student led national network of progressive organizations and individuals whose aim is to uproot environmental injustices through action and education. We define the environment to include the physical, economical, political and cultural conditions in which we live. By challenging the power structure which threatens these environmental conditions, SEAC works to create progressive social change on both the local and global levels.
The Cost of Limiting Fossil-Fuel CO2 Emissions In the late 1980s, interest nourished in the issue of global climate change. Many studies focussed on the options for limiting anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse- related gases and managing the consequences of global warming and climate change. Making appropriate policy choices requires information on both the costs and benefits, as they occur over time, of policy interventions, and an increasing number of studies have sought to quantify the costs especially of limiting CO2 emissions, as the dominant anthropogenic source. Such analyses now form an important part of overall policy assessments and influence international negotiations on policy responses. However, these studies are not well understood. In this paper the authors seek to analyze the literature on the costs of CO2 abatement.
