How green are Apple’s carbon-sequestering trees really?

Another study seemed especially applicable to Apple. In 2009, researchers at California State University Northridge studied carbon sequestration on the university’s 350-acre campus. Students inventoried all 3,900 trees by type and size. Using data from the Center for Urban Forest Research, a branch of the U.S. Forest Service, they estimated the amount each tree was likely to sequester. The average was 88 pounds per tree per year. (By contrast, the average American is responsible for emitting about 44,000 pounds of carbon annually.) Then they compared total sequestration to the amount of carbon emitted by campus sources. (Those sources included the production of electricity to power campus buildings—but not transportation to and from campus.) The result: The trees sequestered less than one percent of the amount of carbon released during the same period. Put another way, the amount of carbon sequestered, at a school with 41,000 students, equaled the carbon output of eight average Americans. -- The Architect's Newspaper

Price Americans paid for potatoes almost 50 percent more

Coöperaties van aardappeltelers hebben in het begin van de jaren 2000 in de VS drones ingezet en satellietafbeeldingen gescand. Ze wilden het aantal aardappelen dat in de VS geteeld werd verminderen, zodat de prijzen zouden stijgen. Hierdoor zouden de telers meer winst zien. Dit blijkt uit een verslag door de California State University, Northridge van professor Melanie Stallings Williams. -- AGF - Netherlands (in Dutch)
