Green to Gold - How Smart
Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create
Value, and Build Competitive Advantage
- Daniel Esty
and Andrew Winston
"Green to Gold
provides the definitive thinking on how business leaders
can address environmental issues in the new economy, a
world where companies win by integrating company
strategies with social challenges, rather than treating
economic and social as separate and different."
–Michael E. Porter, Professor, Harvard Business
School
"Green to Gold is a must-read for
the twenty-first century CEO. Esty and Winston provide
convincing examples of how companies out-compete their
peers by tackling sustainability head on, engaging
stakeholders, developing NGO partnerships, and folding
environmental stewardship into their corporate culture."
–Tensie Whelan, Executive Director,
Rainforest Alliance
The Weather Makers - The History and Future of
Climate Change
- Tim Flannery
"This is the book the world has been
waiting for – and needing – for decades. At last, a book
that sets out, for the general public, the irrefutable
evidence that climate change is already happening, and
we need to become very serious about it – fast."
–Professor Peter Singer - internationally
renowned author and ethicist
"While it sounds an appropriately
urgent warning about the impact of climate change on
ecological systems, Flannery's is not in any sense a
narrow book. Indeed, as well as being clear and readable
it is heroic in scope, ranging from the physical and
biological sciences to electoral politics and practical
remedies. It concludes on a positive note with the small
things we can all do to slow down the changes before
they become catastrophic ... If you are not yet
convinced of the gravity of the problem, or our capacity
to solve it, you should buy and read this compelling
book."

Power and Cost Metering
Power-Mate
is a small, versatile,
easy to use electrical meter designed for
home or office use. Simply plug in an
electrical device (with an Australian style
plug) and select the information you require
from;
- Power rating
by the device (Watts)
- Running costs
($/c)
- Current (Amps)
- Voltage of the
power supply (Volts)
- Energy rating
(kWh)
- Greenhouse Gas
produced (kgG/kWh)
It will also display (or
capture) minimums and maximums as well as
(display) hourly, quarterly and annual
estimated figures, where applicable. The Power-Mate will help
you discover the hidden cost of your
electrical items on standby or in use and
help identify ways to reduce your
electricity bills.
Designed and built in
Australia to high standards, by a winner of
ABC's The New Inventors. As seen in use on
ABC's Carbon Cops.
