David Birley's video shows how easy it is to reduce global carbon emission credits.
When David Birley from InfoExpress heard about Climakind he was completely taken by the simplicity and effectiveness of the idea. So taken that he went back to his office and created the ‘It’s Easy’ video. The video captures the attention and amazes the senses, all while showing how easy it is to reduce carbon emission credits through Climakind – that’s what I call information express!

Carbon Emissions Reduction - It's Easy

Climate or Not - Reduce Emissions
A friend of mine made a great point in a post on climate change science; there is more to reducing carbon emissions than reacting to global warming.
As the global population grows and easy-to-access oil becomes scarce we will be forced to rethink our consumption habits - especially our consumption of energy.
Rather than wait until the last minute we should act now to wean ourselves off fossil fuels. The benefits are clear. Investing in low-carbon solutions now means we have increasingly efficient fossil-fuel-alternatives - just as oil become increasing rare. At the same time low-carbon solutions reduce pollution in the local community. It's win-win for everyone on the planet!
Here are the points my friend (Mr M.Heffernan) makes that inspired this post.
1. There will be more people on the planet tomorrow than there were today. Never in the history of our planet have tomorrow's number of people attempted to live on earth at the same time.
2. We are sitting on a finite amount of water and, to a certain extent, soil.
3. We all have an impact on the environment by our very existence. After all, why feel guilty for enjoying ourselves while we are here?
4. Given an increasing population and finite resources, attempting to pollute less would seem logical
5. We could all pollute less by consuming less stuff.
Think about it this way. In 1800 the world's population was about 1 billion people; 210 years later the worlds popultion is almost 7 billion. It is estimated the poplution will increase by almost two billion people in the next 40 years to 8.9 billion people - UN Release.
It is pretty simple, and it might just save the world as we know it for future generations.

ETS - No more delays!
The world needs climate action now. While we quibble over the details of how to implement an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) the window of opportunity to help stop damaging climate change narrows. Capping emissions with an ETS is a step in the right direction. An ETS provides an environmentally effective and efficient means of reducing carbon emissions. It allows the market to determine where and at what price emissions will be reduced. At the same time it provides incentive for research and investment in low-carbon solutions - the only way to a sustainable future.
All of this is well documented on sites such as www.pewclimate.org/docUploads/Climate101-CapTrade-Jan09.pdf. What Climakind adds to the mix is the ability for individuals and organisations to participate in the purchase and cancellation of carbon credits. This effectively removes them from the carbon market and stops them from ever being used to create carbon dioxide. The reduced supply of carbon credits pushes up the carbon credit price making alternative low-carbon solutions more attractive. Low-carbon solutions are the only way to a sustainable future.
