From California ARB: "We have posted an on-line survey to gather information on the use of certain on-road diesel vehicles in California. The purpose of the survey is to better understand the age and use of diesel vehicles used in different operations such as long-haul, local delivery, and other types of operations. We are working on a proposal that would currently require all diesel trucks and buses subject to the regulation to meet 2007 engine standards by 2013 and 2010 engine standards by 2021. We would like any person, business or corporation that owns or is leasing, for twelve months or more, any diesel powered truck, bus, pickup, or other vehicle to complete the survey. The survey is available at the following website: http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onrdiesel/onrdiesel_new.htm A hard copy version is also available at the website.
I like how this movie pulled no punches in stating that climate change is not the problem...our THINKING is the problem. The human race is living under the false illusion that we are separate from the earth with dominion over all other life forms to do with as we please, consuming without end. Climate change is a result of our flawed thinking and it will kick our ass. Get ready to make some sacrifices in comfort and convenience now or live in some REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE conditions later. Now is the time to get cracking on some sustainable ideas.
Bike to Work math: By biking to work, I save approx. 1.4 tons of Co2 per year from entering the earth's atmosphere and burn 99,060 calories, equivalent to 28 lbs.
