| Description: | Case studies hosted by Environmental Defense, a national nonprofit organization with a focus on enviornmentally-friendly solutions, represents more than 500,000 members. The two cases are British Petroleum and DuPont. "America's top six manufacturing industries are primary metals, food, chemicals, paper, nonmetallic minerals and petroleum refining. Together, they churn out about two-thirds of the country's total industrial emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main global warming pollutant. By switching to renewable energy sources and boosting energy efficiencies, industry holds one of the keys to fixing the global warming problem. Fortunately, far-sighted companies are beginning to lead the way." "Since 1967, Environmental Defense has linked science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships to create breakthrough solutions to the most serious environmental problems." |
