| Zeroing Out Carbon Emission in Woodstock | |
| "What`s not to like? How could anybody be against it?" Michael Esposito rides his bike all the time _ from cold nights when leaving his old job at a natural food store to warm days while passing shops selling yoga clothes and soy drinks.So the 67-year-old is excited about a new plan to reduce this countercultural haven`s net carbon dioxide emissions to zero within a decade, an ambitious attempt to erase the town`s `carbon footprint.``It`s more than important,` Esposito said. `It`s a necessity.`The goal might sound as unlikely as stuffing smoke back into a smokestack. Even sympathetic experts call it challenging. It likely would require many of the town`s roughly 6,200 people to install solar panels and geothermal hookups. But it`s tough to find a resident who doesn`t support the project. Read more |
