Achieve Quotes
We need to remind ourselves that our ultimate goal is not to reduce greenhouse gases or global warming per se but to improve the quality of life and the environment. We all want to leave the planet in decent shape for our kids. Radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not necessarily the best way to achieve that.
-
Air Quotes
I think people really understand that clean air and clean water and not having factories dumping their emissions into the atmosphere and into the rivers and into the sea has been a very good thing for America. EPA stands watch for very important principles that go all the way back to Teddy Roosevelt.
-
Avoid Quotes
What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Addition Quotes
We're excited to be among the first to deploy this latest in HEV technology because it promises a 35% increase in fuel economy in addition to a dramatic decrease in vehicle emissions. UPS has been involved in HEV research for more than eight years, but that's just one part of a multifaceted strategy to reduce fuel dependency, cut greenhouse emissions and in the long run, reduce operating costs.

Area Quotes
Shareholders are putting pressure on all publicly held companies that this is an important area of corporate responsibility. One way that Chevron responds is by pointing out we've invested and have businesses like Chevron Energy Solutions working with our own company to reduce our carbon emissions but also with other businesses and important public institutions.

Committed Quotes
Sen. Rita Days and I were committed to maintaining a safe and friendly emissions program even though the effort was to decentralize it. Decentralize did not mean the program was going away; it?s a federal mandate. Our six amendments protect the public and make the often inconvenient process of emissions testing as painless as possible.

Continue Quotes
Some misleading reports have incorrectly characterized EPA's repeal of the two percent oxygen requirement of the reformulated gasoline program as a move away from ethanol, when in reality the opposite is true -- the demand for ethanol will continue its steady increase. Using ethanol in reformulated gasoline was extraordinarily successful in helping reduce harmful tailpipe emissions around the United States.

Almost Quotes
Shipping is the greenest method of transport. In terms of carbon emissions per ton per mile, it emits about a thousandth of aviation and about a tenth of trucking. But it's not benign, because there's so much of it. So shipping emissions are about three to four percent, almost the same as aviation's.

Affordable Quotes
More and more customers around the world are concerned about the challenge of climate changes caused by the emissions or greenhouse gases. We're pleased to offer consumers one easy, affordable way to engage in a meaningful and measurable step to fight climate change and be a part of the solution.
-
Benefits Quotes
Natural gas obviously brings with it a number of quality-of-life environmental benefits because it is a relatively clean-burning fuel. It has a CO2 footprint, but it has no particulates. It has none of the other emissions elements that are of concern to public health that other forms of power-generation fuels do have: coal, fuel oil, others.

Affect Quotes
There is an emphasis now on developing high-performance schools, and part of that will be to measure how changes in indoor air quality improve the performance of children. By studying how emissions from normal furnishings affect children performing classroom tasks, you can estimate what might happen if you reduce the emissions.

Air Quotes
We have worked with a steering committee that represents organizations and stakeholders with a vested interest in this project. The committee members want to further the knowledge of the current technologies to reduce air emissions and odor levels in livestock operations. The Wisconsin DNR will also begin in 2007 to implement regulations related to air emissions from livestock operations.

According Quotes
There is little evidence that mandatory emissions caps actually work. For example, since signing the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, which mandates the reduction of carbon emissions, both Canada and Greece have seen a nearly 25 percent increase in emissions. According to the European Environment Agency, 13 EU nations that signed onto the Kyoto Protocol are on track to miss their 2010 emissions targets.

Allowing Quotes
The project upgrades will significantly reduce plant emissions and increase plant output, allowing Greenville Steam Company to provide significant supplies of clean and competitively priced renewable power. The Greenville investment comes at a pivotal time with increasing cost of electricity in New England as well as rising clean energy requirements in the region.

Air Quotes
Early data indicates the strong potential for a truly green vehicle combining great efficiency characteristics with extremely low air pollutants and zero greenhouse gas emissions at the tailpipe. This technology has the potential to be commercially available a lot sooner and more cost-effectively than other hydrogen automotive technologies.
-
Activity Quotes
The result is that about 50 percent of the biomass carbon is retained. By sequestering huge amounts of carbon, this technique constitutes a much longer and significant sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide than most other sequestration options, making it a powerful tool for long-term mitigation of climate change. In fact we have calculated that up to 12 percent of the carbon emissions produced by human activity could be offset annually if slash-and-burn were replaced by slash-and-char.
-
Changes Quotes
These results show that we will experience not only future climate change, but also the results of policies to reduce these changes, in ways that are not simply related to changes in the global mean temperature. Policy decisions about reducing greenhouse emissions should not, therefore, be dictated by projected changes in global mean temperature alone.
-
Addition Quotes
Deepening our understanding of the global environmental services, in addition to the local environmental services provided by no-till activities, is of critical importance as the world faces a major challenge in reducing the risks associated with greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change.
-
Aircraft Quotes
A laptop computer controlled the system and logged the data. While we looked primarily at wireless phones, we also discovered that emissions from other portable electronic devices were problematic. We feel that passenger use of portable electronic devices on aircraft should continue to be limited for the safety of all concerned.

Area Quotes
Yusen has always been an environmental leader and a good neighbor to Harbor Area communities, ... This project will not only provide a tremendous benefit to dockworkers and residents of San Pedro and Wilmington, but will also serve as an example to other terminal operators of how they too can continue to reduce emissions from their daily operations.

Air Quotes
This is the first data being collected anywhere in the country under a new national air quality monitoring program. Monitoring at other locations will get under way in 2006, but we're setting the stage for future poultry and other livestock production facility air emissions monitoring under this program.
