Disney Sets Plan to Cut Carbon Emissions to Zero

Disney sets a very lofty goal in helping to preserve the environment.

By 2013, Disney plans to reduce electricity consumption by 10 percent compared with its 2006 baseline at existing assets, and to develop a plan to "aggressively" pursue renewable electricity sources, the report said.

To get to zero net direct emissions, Disney plans to find efficiencies to cut emissions and to replace high-carbon fuels with low-carbon alternatives, then use "high-quality offsets" for what is left.


Very commendable, and I think, will set the tone to many other companies, especially those in the same type of business. Typically what Disney does is followed by many other companies, and this is not such a bad thing to copy.
