Every year, our purchase of wind power offsets the equivalent of taking 31 cars off the road or planting 59 acres of forest (2,950 trees). [More specifically, we purchase 360,000 kw hrs of wind energy each year which offset 432,000 lbs of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide - the global warming gas), 1,012 lbs of NOx (Nitrogen Oxides - a precursor to smog and acid rain) and 3,244 lbs of SO2 (Sulfur Dioxide - a precursor to acid rain).] To learn more about wind power, visit the Clean Air Council or PAwindcampaign.org.

Executive Order Number 155 State of North Carolina Pilot Teleworking Project The Executive Order establishes the State of North Carolina Pilot Teleworking Program to identify and measure the benefits derived from teleworking. It will also establish and test guidelines to ensure statewide consistency among agencies for common issues involved with the implementation of teleworking programs statewide. Teleworking, a management option in which employees work from home instead of driving to the traditional office, was conceptualized as an essential part of a plan to lower the number of vehicle miles traveled by state employees and achieve reductions in vehicle emissions that contribute to air pollution. The Teleworking Executive Order was drafted in an interagency effort between the Office of State Personnel (OSP) and the departments of Administration, Environment and Natural Resources, Commerce, and Transportation. The Office of the State Auditor and OSP thoroughly researched the feasibility of implementing teleworking in state government and recommended that criteria be established for a statewide teleworking program.

Valdez Society To allow external interested parties, especially NGOs, to review the report in its final stage before printing, and present their opinions about how the report can be improved as a reference material. The report was viewed in its final stage with an emphasis on the following: the extent to which last year's opinions were reflected in this year's report; whether the report is consistent with Hitachi's editorial policy; whether the report meets the auditing criteria for the Green Reporting Award (a commendation system for environmental reports cosponsored by Toyo Keizai Inc. and the Green Reporting Forum), and whether the report is comparable with the level of information disclosed in the environmental reports of other companies within the same industry.

     Enhancing Corporate Competitiveness and Environmental sustainability.Approved by the IEEEUSA Board of Directors (November 1999).  
     http://www.ieeeusa.org/forum/POSITIONS/corpcompete.html
     
     Extractions: of Directors (November 1999) Corporate competitiveness and environmental sustainability must be designed and built in to products and services, not added or adapted to existing designs. The engineers who are responsible for those designs are fundamental to their accomplishment. In the absence of opportunities for continuing career development, engineers will not take the risks necessary to support continuous innovation and improvement. Rather, they will work to maintain the status quo by implementing incremental improvements. On the other hand, engineers who are continually challenged, working in companies with good career growth policies, will be motivated to produce the best results for their employers, confident that they will be recognized and appropriately rewarded. Thus IEEE-USA encourages employers to provide: A working environment that offers the creative challenges and freedom to innovate needed to secure and extend competitive advantage, increase corporate profitability, maintain environmental quality and promote life long learning. The infrastructure needed to sustain continuing improvement of core products and services; including access to materials, techniques, tools and supporting resources as well as opportunities to team with other business, engineering, financial and marketing experts

     Extractions: Gowdy, John M. 1994. "Discussion Papers: Progress and Environmental Sustainability." Environmental Ethics Thesis: "Once we give up the idea of progress, we can concentrate on making do with what we have rather than placing our hopes on some future material or ethical utopia" (p.55). Summary: INTRODUCTION (pp.41-43): The notion of progress, while a relatively new idea, provides the dominant view for human society, in economic, biological, and ethical realms. "Progress" has provided justification for the reign of the free market, for colonial exploitation of non-Western societies, and for the manipulation and exploitation of the biosphere. The decade of the 1990's has produced a body of literature questioning the validity of "progress." The roots of this disillusionment may be found in the limits of the economy and the environment. ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PROGRESS (pp.43-46): Among economists, the notion of progress is generally equated with economic growth. Until the industrial revolution, most societies had economies that would be considered "unprogressive," as they maintained a steady state rather than achieving growth. "Growth" has taken on an ethical fervor, as the solution to our problems with poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. The neoclassical model of "perfect competition" holds that each firm will be "inexorably pulled toward maximum efficiency" (p.44). Since the 1980's, "sustainability" has emerged as a principle in opposition to unlimited growth. The notion of "steady-state economics" is gaining respectability. However, if Georgescu-Roegen's law of entropy holds (1971), what is needed is a
