The Results Center produces case studies of the most successful energy efficiency and renewable energy programs in the United States and around the world. Funded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, 126 case studies, 6 special reports, and 24 newsletters were published by Ted Flanigan and his colleagues from 1990 — 1996. Case Study #127, the German Solar Feed-In Tariff, was published in 2007.Save a Ton Campaign
In 2012, EcoMotion conceived and fabricated “The Ton” to raise awareness about greenhouse gases and their enormity. Our climate action planning made clear that greenhouse gases are “out of sight, and out of mind.” Citizens and businesses lack a frame of reference for greenhouse gases and individual footprints. Then we saw a visual from the United Kingdom of a metric tonne of CO2, dwarfing a double-decker bus. This is about a month’s emissions for every Californian.
The Science We Teach: It’s tough to think in terms of metric tonnes of CO2, the new vernacular for climate protection. Megatons and gigatons rule. The average American is responsible for 20 tonnes of CO2e annually. This compares to normal human respiration (oxygen in, carbon dioxide out) at 250 – 500 kg/year, a quarter to a half tonne a year. We are oxidizing carbon resources at a pace 48 times that of hunter/gatherers.
