Davos Open Forum 2007 - Sustainable Energy Consumption Sustainable Energy Consumption: Does Anyone Care? Energy consumption has significantly increased over the past decades. This is having an impact not only on climate change but also on economic growth. It is clear that today's society needs to learn to consume energy in a more sustainable fashion. 1) What are the consequences of increased energy consumption on the environment and climate change? What are the consequences to economic growth? 2) Is the concept of a "2,000 watt society" a realistic approach to changing patterns of energy consumption? 3) What is the role of policy-makers, the energy sector and consumers in promoting sustainable energy consumption?

Video Consumption is "Social," MySpace and YouTube ... http://www.beet.tv/2008/10/video-consumpti.html At MySpaceTV, some two thirds of videos are consumed on user profile pages, according to Cristian Cussen, speaking yesterday at the Beet.TV online Video Roundtable. Fellow panelist Laura Lee from YouTube said that social referrel is a big driver along with search on Google and YouTube. For Truveo, the giant AOL-owned search engine, the big driver of video consumption is the presentation of related videos, which drives two thirds of the search results, said president Peter Kocks. Finishing up this segment on search and discoverability was Suranga Chandratillake, CEO of Blinkx, the San Francisco-based search engine company which uses speech-to-text technology to understand what is being said in millions of videos. It's not surprising that the most successful video sharing sites are about, well, sharing. But for video publishers seeking to get broad viewership and create "viral" video, understanding search and discoverability is essential. This section of the panel was a good one. Hope you will check it out. The event was co-moderated by Erick Schonfeld, co-editor of TechCrunch, Dan Farber, editor-in-chief of CNET News.com and myself.

Prices Up, Gas Consumption Down PlusPrices Up, Gas Consumption DownPrices Up, Gas Consumption DownThe Associated PressAs gas prices continue to soar, drivers are cutting back. A new study found fuel consumption in Florida has dropped to its lowest level in 35 years. (July 11)With record high prices, drivers are putting the brakes on gas consumption. This college student is trying to save money at the pumps-- and he's not alone. 16:03:50SOT: ACTUALLY I JUST BOUGHT A SMALLER CAR SO I COULD TRY TO SAVE GAS Cameron Houston/ Trying to Conserve Gas Gas consumption in Florida has dropped to its lowest level in 35 years. That's according to a just released report by Florida's Department of Environmental Protection. 16:02:58SOT: 3 DOLLARS WAS THE COLD WATER IN THE FACE, 4 DOLLARS WAS THE SLAP IN THE FACE. I THINK IT WOKE EVERYBODY UP. Jim Smith/ Fl Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Store Association And gas stations are noticing the drop. Stations have been about a five percent drop in gas sales this year.16:03:43SOT: CONSUMERS HAVE CHOSEN TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE, INSTEAD OF MAKING 3 TRIPS THEY'LL MAKE ONE. THEY'RE CONSOLIDATING THEIR TRIPS, STAYING CLOSER TO HOME But there is some good news. Another study found the high gas prices could cut auto deaths by nearly a third. That's because drivers-- especially teenagers-- are cutting back on how much time they spend behind the wheel. On average, gas prices are now around 4-dollars a gallon. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

World Food Crisis: Is global meat consumption a major cause? Is a change of diet key to solving global warming & food crisis? Some facts While 100 million tons of grain are being diverted to make fuel this year, over seven times as much (760 million tons) will be used to feed animals. The world's passion for meat is a much bigger cause of global hunger than its passion for the car. To maximise food production it is best to be vegan. According to Simon Fairlie, in his magazine The Land, it would take just 3 million hectares of arable land to meet Britain's food needs, half the current total, if the population were vegan. * To produce 1 lb of meat, an average of 40 lbs of vegetation is used. * 12 lbs of wheat produce 12 loaves of bread and only 1hamburger. * It takes 3.25 acres of land to produce food for a meat eater on a continuing basis, while it takes 1/3 of an acre for someone eating a diet of plants and dairy and 1/6 of an acre for a person eating totally plant based diet (vegan). * A University of California Study shows that to produce 1 lb of meat it takes an average of 2,500 gallons of water, it takes 966 gallons of water to produce one gallon of cow's milk and on the other hand plant foods such as wheat, corn, apples etc. take 20 to 50 gallons of water to produce one pound of food. * Eating food crops first hand produces a tremendous energy savings. To produce one pound of protein derived from beef requires 20 times as much fossil fuel energy as the same one pound of protein derived from corn or wheat. Protein from beef requires 40 times more fossil fuel energy than the same amount of protein derived from soybeans. * The waste released in the atmosphere by the U.S. Meat and Dairy Industry is 230,000 pounds per second, thus polluting earth, air and water systems. * It is estimated that it takes 75,000 trees to print a Sunday edition of The New York Times for the readers. These staggering numbers are a wake up-call for us to make a difference now. Human Welfare * Twenty vegetarians can be fed on the amount of land needed to feed one person consuming a meat-based diet. * If America reduced their intake of meat by 10 percent, 60 million people can be adequately fed by grain saved. * A cow has to eat 7 lbs of grain and soy bean protein to produce 1 lb of meat protein. If the same land were to produce food for humans directly, 7 times more people could eat. * More than half of all the water used in the United States is used in live stock production that can be used where there is water shortage. When we become aware of these facts and change our lifestyle and go vegan we can increase the amount of grain available to feed people elsewhere, reduce pollution, save water and energy, cease contributing to the clearing of forests and the most important we can save billions of sentient beings from torture and pain. Today the dairy cows have become milking machines for human beings. The cows are kept pregnant every year for a consecutive 9-10 year period by artificial insemination. As soon as the cows stop yielding milk, they are dragged to the slaughter house for beef meat. Poor calves are forcefully dragged away from their mothers, depriving them of their mother's milk that is rightfully theirs. If the calves are female they are raised as dairy cows and are exploited as their mothers and at the end face the same fate as them. If the calves are male they are fattened by hormone injections and kept in dark sheds away from sunlight in oppressed conditions, preparing them for veal meat. This ultimately ends the lives of the cows and calves prematurely and cruelly.

Driving Sustainable Consumption Life-cycle assessment is a powerful framework for total economic, social, and environmental cost pricing of consumer goods and services. We have developed a model to assess the cradle-to-consumer environmental impacts from the manufacturing, transport and trade of 1,100 categories of consumer products and services. Particularly promising opportunities exist to provide environmental information for products and the point of sale. At a cost of carbon of $10/tCO2, we estimate that incorporating the cost of carbon would only add about 0.5% to price of goods and services, and 0.7% to the price of food. By creating appropriate incentives for sustainable consumption as well as production, a more efficient and sustainable resource pricing system can begin to emerge that explicitly recognizes the connections between consumer behavior and global warming.
