NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The voluntary carbon markets defied last year’s deteriorating economy by doubling in size and growing in value, according to the latest research from Ecosystem Marketplace and New Carbon Finance.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sky-high fuel prices, declining energy use and a slumping economy gave the U.S. its largest annual decline in fossil fuel-based carbon dioxide emissions since 1982, when emissions fell 5.3 percent.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- President Barack Obama puts to rest today a long-running feud between the auto industry, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and more than a dozen states over the right to regulate vehicle tailpipe emissions.

Together, a consumer engagement campaign that fights climate change, announced yesterday the launch of the "Togetherizer", an online tool that quantifies CO2 savings from consumers and organizations that have adopted solutions suggested by Together.
Togetherizer's first round of calculations only include products and services from Dell, Lenovo, and Target, but other companies will be included as the campaign expands.
Since its launch earlier this year, Together has helped avoid 1,370,290 tons of CO2 emissions through solutions that help consumers save money while lowering their carbon footprints. Together has saved over $170 million in energy costs.
Partners in the Together campaign include Chase, RecycleBank, Timberland, MySpace, and Time Warner.
