The New Energy Economy Putting America on the Path to Solving Global Warming Issue Papers: How America and the world respond to global warming and our growing demand for energy -- and whether we respond in time -- will determine what kind of planet we have for generations to come. Fortunately, many of the technologies and policy tools we need to make the shift to cleaner energy solutions already exist, and we can deploy them without harming the economy. NRDC outlines six energy-sector opportunities that can help America reduce global warming pollution. The next step is decisive action by the U.S. government to facilitate these investments and reduce our global warming pollution the necessary 80 percent, or 10.6 billion tons, by 2050.

NRDC's Green Offices NRDC's offices save energy and the environment by embracing green building design. Overview: When it comes to energy efficiency, NRDC practices what it preaches with energy-efficient and green design features in each of our four offices. Some of the environmentally beneficial features of our offices include utilization of natural light from skylights and large windows, innovative recycled building materials, and a water recycling system. Since beginning the greening of our offices in 1988, we have achieved numerous economic and environmental benefits, including keeping millions of pounds of global warming pollution out of the atmosphere. Includes links to details about our New York City, Washington, D.C., Santa Monica and San Francisco offices.
