Miljøminister Ida Auken og seks borgmestre sætter for første gang
miljøkrav til indkøb af fødevarer, transport og byggeri. Grønne indkøb gavner
miljøet og skaber vækst.
Bilerne i den kommunale hjemmepleje skal fremover kunne køre længst muligt på
literen og have de bedste partikelfiltre. Mere end hver anden kop kaffe på
rådhuset skal være fair trade eller økologisk. Og så skal hver fjerde nye
bygning have et lavere energiforbrug end gennemsnittet af nybyggeri.
Sådan lyder nogle af de krav, som miljøminister Ida Auken og seks af landets
kommuner er gået sammen om at sætte for egne fremtidige indkøb af fødevarer,
transport og byggeri.
- Kravene vil få kommunerne til at købe flere grønne produkter. Det er
ikke alene godt for miljøet, men også for kommunernes pengepung og væksten. For
når kommunerne efterspørger grønne produkter, vil erhvervslivet se fidusen i at
udvikle de grønne løsninger, som Danmark skal leve af i fremtiden, siger
miljøminister Ida Auken.

Vækstforum i region midtjylland afdækkede gennem et forprojekt i foråret 2011, hvordan C2C kan styrke virksomhedernes innovationskraft, produktivitet og konkurrenceevne. Gruppen leverede en indstilling til vækstforums møde d. 8. juni 2011, hvorefter der søgtes efter en operatør. D. 25. oktober godkendte Vækstforum at projektet kan gå i luften med indgangen til 2012. Denne side formidler mellemregninger, samler links, arrangementer m.m.indtil operatør overtager opgaven.

The Living Planet Report 2012 finds:
Biodiversity continues to be lost: Populations of species continue to decline, with tropical and freshwater species experiencing the biggest declines. Learn more
The U.S. has the fifth largest ecological footprint in terms of the amount of resources each person annually consumes. We rank only behind Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, and Denmark in the global rankings of the Ecological Footprint. Learn more
Resource scarcity is already being experienced across the globe, as 2.7 billion people around the world already are forced to cope with water scarcity during at least one month a year.
WWF urges governments at Rio+20 to start valuing nature in order to ensure food, water, and energy security. With the impact of our ecological footprint in mind, we must protect our natural resources while providing socio-economic benefits and allowing for sustainable development.
The challenge of sustaining life on an increasingly crowded planet is growing more complicated every day. How do we feed a growing global population and still maintain a living planet? WWF works to provide recommendations, that when taken together, could enable farms to feed 10 billion people and keep Earth habitable.

Think about what you buy and where you buy it. Look for labels that identify food and other consumer goods produced with minimal or no negative impact on the environment or society. And if you can't see a label, ask the store where the product came from and how it was made. Global labels and certifications that aim to protect forests, oceans, land and waterways include:

The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB)
Nyt stort punkt på CSR-strategien:
Se TEEB, en hjemmeside for alle: politikere, forretningsfolk, borgere, støttet af bl.a. EU kommissionen.
Tab af biodiversitet er en reel trussel
Dyre- og plantearter uddør med stigende hast. Det er ikke
kun synd for pandaen, orangutangen, bien og alle de andre. Det er en trussel mod
virksomheders og menneskers fremtidige overlevelse. (Tekst taget fra CSR.dk)
The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) study is a major international initiative to draw attention to
the global economic benefits of biodiversity, to highlight the growing costs of
biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation, and to draw together expertise from
the fields of science, economics and policy to enable practical actions moving
forward.

Print dit hus
In a forest north of Copenhagen, Danish architects Frederik Agdrup and Nicholas Bjorndal of Eentileen used just a computer, a printer and 820 sheets of plywood to build a 125 square meter (1,345 square foot) home in four weeks. Named Villa Asserbo, the home is the pilot project of Eentileen’s Print a House project.
Matthew Stock’s video report for Reuters presents the first Danish digitally fabricated house, and what its designers hope will be the house of the future.
Eentileen’s Print a House process begins as a 3D model which is translated into a manufacturing template and sent to a printer, i.e. a CNC machine. The CNC machine, a computerized milling machine, then cuts sheets of plywood into pieces that can be slotted and fitted together. The architects developed their method to maximize efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and reduce construction errors in the building process. Agdrup and Bjorndal say that their Print a House method allows a house to be built by two people without heavy machinery.
