...However, while French and Italian carmakers cut their average emissions by 1.6 percent between 2005 and 2006, emissions from German cars actually increased by 0.6 percent. "Germany's fine automotive engineers should be focusing on making cars leaner and more fuel efficient," said T&E director Jos Dings. "Sadly, based on recent progress, they mostly seem to be intent on building ever heavier, larger and more gas-guzzling cars that simply don't belong in the 21st century...

...released preliminary recommendations. The working group suggested shortening grant applications, creating separate awards for first-time applicants, and asking outside reviewers to examine funding requests.

But simply making the paper necessary to print one copy of The Crimson for every room on campus results in the production of 2116 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Even the use of 100 percent recycled newsprint only shaves the figure down to 1,042 metric tons, still nearly a thousand-fold difference. And those figures do not include the environmental impacts of shipping and printing. Of course, simplistic assumptions yield simplistic results. In the real world, some rooms on campus never remove their daily...
