"Companies that have taken a lead in reducing emissions, according to new research from the non-profit Climate Group, include Deutsche Telekom, which reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 65 per cent between 1995 and 2002; 3M, which has achieved a 35 per cent reduction on emissions from 1995 levels; Swiss Re, which will cut operational greenhouse gas emissions by 15 per cent by 2013; and the Canadian Forest Products Industry, which is now reporting greenhouse gas emissions at 28 per cent below 1990 levels.
Some energy companies, which by the nature of their business are responsible for large amounts of global emissions, have also taken a lead in projects to reduce climate change.
Kurt Hoffman, director of the Shell Foundation, points to projects from the Bus Rapid Transit system in Mexico City to the development of more efficient, low-cost stoves as examples of where Shell, in partnership with other organisations, is helping developing countries progress without escalating their emissions dramatically."
Estamos viviendo un gran cambio civilizacional, y México debe reacconar rápido si no quiere quedarse en el cubo de basura de la historia. La revista Cambio de esta semana por ejemplo, afirma, que a Pemex le quedan 25 años de petróleo. Yo apuesto que será menos: ya estamos importando gas natural... Debemos desarrollar nuevas fuentes de energía, desde las mareas hasta el viento, por que pronto el petróleo será sólo un recuerdo. Es hora de organizarnos para poder sobrevivir en una sociedad post-petróleo, que está sólo a unos cuantos años de llegar.
