Gem of the day

The Pew Global Center on Climate Change. Not one of the usual suspects for sourcing gems, but here it is, courtesy of Climate Compass blogger Tim Juliani. Here's how he starts off:

"For those of us who have been working on passing climate legislation for the past several years, these can be depressing times."

Exactly. So what's the light at the end of the tunnel he's seeing?

"Yet, in the midst of all of this, I was encouraged last week when 28 of the 46 member companies of the Pew Center’s Business Environmental Leadership Council (BELC) were named to this year’s Dow Jones Sustainability Index: ABB, Air Products, Alcoa, BASF, Baxter, Bayer, Boeing, Citigroup, Cummins, Daimler, Deutsche Telekom, Dow Chemical, Duke Energy, DuPont, Entergy, Exelon, GE, HP, Holcim, Intel, IBM, Johnson Controls, Novartis, PG&E, Rio Tinto, Toyota, TransAlta, and United Technologies."

Ah, the DJSI--home to such sustainability leaders as Halliburton, Duke Energy and Dow Chemical.
