Live Earth Article on Copenhagen

An article from Live Earth about the International Climate Talks in Copenhagen this December:

Copenhagen Leaders Lead by Example

"When world leaders gather in Copenhagen this December they will be discussing some of the most important and pressing climate issues facing the world today.

These world influencers are leaving no green stone unturned as they make an effort to environmentally spruce up their trips to the event.

Denmark has developed a luxurious and eco-friendly solution to the issue of ground transportation throughout the conference.

The attendees will be transported in limousines that run on experimental biofuels made from plant waste.
How creative!

Although these alternative-fuels are not yet in commercial production, they are considered second-generation because they don’t use the actual crop for the production of the fuel.

This allows the crops to be used for food or other purposes, and then the remaining waste is used for development of the fuels.

These fuels even emit less carbon than the currently used first generation biofuels. These world leaders are setting a positive green example while all eyes will be on them!"
