The online map combines energy-use data from 15 South Bay cities, as well as information on green buildings and solar panel installation in those cities. San Jose’s Green Vision strategic plan was started in 2008 to address 10 goals related to reducing the city’s carbon footprint, from reducing energy use to planting trees and recycling. The Aspen Institute Business and Society program has announced its second class of First Mover Fellows, executives working within companies to combine business growth with a sustainable society in their products and services. The Fellowship is organized around themes of innovation, leadership, reflection, and community, and is intended to help professionals explore new possibilities for business development. The 16 First Mover Fellows for 2010 will meet three times in the coming year to exchange insights and information. For more information on these and other stories, go to thecsrminute.com. (Less)
