No Surprise - California Leading Effort to Curb Greenhouse Emissions

According to this article from SFGate.com, California regulators are writing plans to have an emissions trading ("cap and trade") system to help curb greenhouse gas emissions. The cap and trade system is supported by many large corporations as it is seen as a business-friendly system (or, perhaps, business-friendlier than the enactment of a carbon tax).

H-P Unveils New Packaging

Hewlett-Packard announced that it will begin to package their print cartridges in smaller and lighter forms. They said that the expected greenhouse gas emission savings from this initiative will be about 37 million pounds this year, the equivalent of taking about 3000 cars off of the roads this year. The new packaging will reduce materials by about 15 million pounds. Since the packaging will be less, it will allow more packages to fit on delivery trucks. This is expected to reduce the number of miles driven by the delivery trucks by 1.5 million miles.
