built 629 days ago
Zero Regio, a two-phase, five-year project funded by the European Commission, launched in November, 2004, and will conclude in 2008. The demonstration phase of the project, which launched today with the presentation of the refueling station and fuel cell fleet, will be accompanied by data evaluation with respect to energy efficiency, environmental impact and socio-economic aspects. The results obtained by this project will contribute to the objective of the European Commission of replacing 5% of motor fuel in road transport by hydrogen by the year 2020.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gaiam has partnered with The Conservation Fund to launch the world's first 'Go Zero' sustainable shipping program. The ground-breaking initiative gives online customers the opportunity to add a small donation at checkout that goes directly to The Conservation Fund to enable the planting of trees to offset carbon dioxide emissions that result from product shipping. Gaiam is ... offering "The Gift of Zero," a gift certificate that allows people to purchase trees to be planted in the recipient's name.

As the title suggests, the book plots out the route from Zero-to-IPO and identifies the milestones and stepping stones along the way. However, it points out that this route may be inappropriate for many startups today and identifies an alternative direct route from Zero-to-Acquisition. This route stimulates the reader to question some of the fundamental principles of business.

The forestlands created by Go Zero's trees do more than just address climate change; they leave a lasting legacy by restoring important wildlife habitat, enhancing outdoor recreation areas and improving air and water quality. Through its broader Climate Change Program, The Conservation Fund has protected 25,000 acres and planted 5 million trees, which will sequester nearly 7 million tons of carbon dioxide over the next 100 years.

Gaiam will join its customers in the Go Zero effort on a corporate level. Working with The Conservation Fund, Gaiam measured the carbon dioxide emissions of office energy use and staff travel and is neutralizing this carbon dioxide "footprint" -- approximately 1,902 tons of carbon dioxide -- through Gaiam's donation to the Go Zero program that enables The Conservation Fund to plant 12.5 acres of trees.
