SafeClimate.net
Launched by the World Resources Institute, visitors to the SafeClimate.net Web site can take decisive action to address global warming. SafeClimate.net challenges individuals and organizations to calculate the size of their own carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint and pledge to reduce it by taking one or more actions outlined on the site (www.safeclimate.net).
More information about SafeClimate.net and WRI’s own CO2 reduction commitment can be obtained from the site (www.wri.org/press/safeclimate.html ). (Contributed by: Vag-Lan Borges, Brazil.)
