Green is Good - for You and for Business

There's a very interesting PDF slide show on the economics of green buildings. Most of the slides, however, are very interesting to those of us who are concerned about global warming but not up to digging into all the numbers. Go through the slides and you will see:

• 30% of CO2 in the atmosphere right now will still be there 100 years from now still capturing heat
• The EU has set standards of 50 MPG by the year 2012.
• Portland is not on the list of the top 10 green cities in the U.S.

The report doesn't give a date but it appears to have been done in late 2007 or early 2008.

Most of you already know this but perhaps some don't. The Sundance Channel has an ongoing series on the Green Movement that is very enlightening and very encouraging (at the local level).
