Ljubljana, 26. februar 2010 - Slovenija je naredila prvi korak na področju zmanjševanja emisij iz osebnega prometa. 1. marca 2010 začne veljati nov zakon o davku na motorna vozila, ki bo nakup novih avtomobilov obdavčil glede na to, koliko onesnažujejo: progresivna davčna lestvica predvideva najnižjo obdavčitev za vozila z najnižjimi izpusti CO2 in najvišjo obdavčitev za vozila z najvišjimi izpusti. Nov zakon ločuje tudi med navadnimi in dizelskimi vozili, kjer so dizelska vozila bolj obdavčena, zaradi negativnega vpliva izpustov prašnih delcev in NOx na okolje in zdravje ljudi.

Okoljevarstvene orgaizacije pozivajo k nacionalnim ciljem za obnovljive vire energije (OVE), ki bi zagotovili, da so emisije iz električnih avtomobilov resnično ničelne.

Večji televizijski sprejemniki porabljajo več energije, vendar pa je mogoče enako udobje doseči ob bistveno nižjih ravneh porabe energije.

Kopenhagen/Ljubljana, 19. december 2009 – Danes popoldan se je v Kopenhagnu podnebna konferenca končala brez sprejetja pravičnega, ambicioznega in pravno zavezujočega dogovora, ki je bil potreben za preprečitev nevarnih podnebnih sprememb. V kritičnem trenutku, ko je še bilo možno rešiti uspeh pogajanj, EU ni bila sposobna zagotoviti pravega vodstva.

Kopenhagen, 16. december 2009 - EU mora 17. decembra, ko se evropski voditelji srečajo v Kopenhagnu, nasloviti tri pomembna vprašanja, ki ogrožajo uspeh podnebne konference v Kopenhagnu, opozarjajo v Focus društvu za sonaraven razvoj.
