Ljubljana, 3. junij 2010 – Razmišljate o nakupu novega televizorja pred svetovnim prvenstvom v nogometu? Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj predstavlja energetsko najbolj učinkovite skupine televizijskih sprejemnikov. T.i. "TV iskalnik" kupcem oz. nogometnim navdušencem omogoča, da z izbiro energetsko najučinkovitejšega TV sprejemnika prihranijo na stroških elektrike. Med vsemi tremi skupinami televizorjev (LED, LCD in plazma) so se LED televizorji izkazali za "podnebne prvake". Med LED televizorji pa so energetsko najbolj učinkovite in s tem najbolj okolju prijazne znamke LG, Samsung in Philips, v vse treh kategorijah velikosti.

Ljubljana, 26. maj 2010 – Danes Evropska komisija na zahtevo Evropskega sveta objavila sporočilo, v katerem analizira možnosti za 30% zmanjšanje izustov v EU. Pri tem ugotavlja ne le, da je 30% cilj potreben, temveč tudi, da bi ga bilo enostavno doseči ter da bi imel pozitivne učinke na evropsko gospodarstvo. Focus društvo za sonaraven razvoj te ugotovitve pozdravlja kot prvi korak v pravo smer.
