Extractions: by Mike Ewall, Green Energy Leadership Team Director - July 29, 1999, corrected February 10, 2000 "Landfill gas" is not the same thing as "natural gas" or "methane." They are three separate terms which mean different things. They should not be used interchangeably. The term "landfill methane" is deceiving as it's usually used to imply that landfill gas is simply methane. Methane is a hydrocarbon gas (CH ). It is a greenhouse gas and it is explosive. It is generated by decomposition (in landfills, from swamps, in the stomachs of cows, etc.). Natural gas is approximately 80-99% methane, with the remainder being mostly other hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, butane, etc.) as well as some nitrogen, oxygen, water, CO , sulfur and various contaminants. Landfill gas is roughly 50% methane. The remainder of landfill gas is mostly carbon dioxide with varying amounts of nitrogen, oxygen and assorted contaminants known as "non-methane organic compounds" or NMOCs. NMOCs usually make up less than 1% of landfill gas. EPA identifies 94 NMOCs in their 1991 report, "Air Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills - Background Information for Proposed Standards and Guidelines." Many of these are toxic chemicals like benzene, toluene, chloroform, vinyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, and 1,1,1 trichloroethane. At least 41 of these are halogenated compounds. Many others are non-halogenated toxic chemicals.

CORDIS: EESD: Programme Overview two subprogrammes, Environment and Sustainable Development and energy , which makes it possible to address complex societal-driven issues through integrated http://www.cordis.lu/eesd/src/overview.htm
Extractions: Implementation of the programme 1. Programme objectives The strategic goal of the programme is to contribute to sustainable development by focusing on key activities crucial for social well-being and economic competitiveness in Europe. 2. Programme strategy In line with the principles laid down for selecting major research themes for the Fifth Framework Programme, which is aimed at addressing socio-economic issues, emphasis will be placed in this programme on the following. European added value and the subsidiarity principle : By mobilising resources and focusing on key targets, the specific programme will form a key part of the European contribution to global initiatives and programmes. Knowledge generated through collaborative RTD at the European level is essential to addressing the serious issues of sustainable development facing the EU. These efforts, including pre-normative research, will confer genuine European added value to the process of developing appropriate regulatory frameworks, for example in the post-Kyoto context. Social objectives : Society is making increasing demands for better living conditions, better safety, and better use of vital and scarce resources including secure and economic energy supplies and services. These key societal issues will only be solved if in addition to developing technologies, the socio-economic context is appropriately analyzed and taken into account.

Starting from a major study on the wider impact of North Sea Oil and Gas, SRT has been one Europe's pioneering organisations in raising the importance of environmental issues. From the outset, it has sought to develop a balanced and well-informed view of the issues. It has never adopted a specifically "green" agenda, although it has often found much common ground with secular environmental organisations. A priority has always been to engage with both sides of issues, and be a forum for exchange and debate. It has also played a major role in the churches, from its early work with the World Council of Churches to present involvement with the European Ecumenical Commission for Church and Society and the Conference of European Churches. In June 2002, SRT appointed

Extractions: President George W. Bush delivers remarks at Sequoia National Park in California May 30, 2001. Our duty is to use the land well, and sometimes, not to use it at all. This is our responsibility as citizens; but, more than that, it is our calling as stewards of the Earth, said the President. Good stewardship of the environment is not just a personal responsibility, it is a public value. Americans are united in the belief that we must preserve our natural heritage and safeguard the land around us. President Announces Wetlands Initiative on Earth Day
