This Op ED mentions Ron Dembo’s (CEO & Founder of Zerofootprint) idea: A carbon sticker for every building.
...The carbon sticker idea was inspired by the fuel consumption labels that are slapped on the window of every new car sold in the United States and Canada (in Canada, the EnerGuide label is used). The label reveals the car’s average fuel economy.

Margaret Atwood is one of the most respected authors of our time, with dozens of books of poetry and fiction to her name, among them Cat’s Eye, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Oryx and Crake. Her latest book, The Year of the Flood, is set in a fallen future: society has crumbled, climate change and pandemics ravage the planet, and people are forced to rediscover their relationship with the land. Miss Atwood chats with TreeHugger about the God’s Gardeners (the book’s rooftop-gardening eco cult), her pantheon of ecological saints, and the greening of her book tour and her own life.

How do I take the guesswork out of carbon measurement?
Your carbon and environmental questions answered. An interview between Zerofootprint Founder and CEO, Ron Dembo and Jill Buck, founder of the Go Green Initiative, host of the Go Green Radio Show.
