London chose a handful of sustainability themes for the 2012 Olympics: low carbon emissions; minimizing waste; conserving biodiversity; and promoting diversity and healthy living.
The paper goes on to identify the issues facing construction in meeting the sustainable development agenda; these include efficient use of natural resources, reducing energy consumption, reducing emissions, minimizing waste, more efficient land use, reducing the impact on construction sites and creating better employment conditions.
"We need to start making substantial reductions in emissions to minimize how much and how quickly the climate changes, and, just as importantly, we need to begin a serious program of national preparedness to respond to these increasing threats".
I am committed to doing my part to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and minimize global warming.
It's also developing a new service for eco-conscious drivers that could recommend routes that reduce emissions and minimize fuel use.
Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative fuel source which can promote energy security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and minimize fuel consumption when paired with advanced combustion strategies.
Thus, energetic contents unsuitable for electrical energy supply are utilized in order to diminish greenhouse gas emissions and minimize primary energy needs.
"In part, that meant doing everything she could to reduce carbon emissions and minimize the severity global warming.
Action that leads to increased oil use means dangerous inaction to reduce carbon emissions and minimize impending chaos from climate destabilization.
In addition, in order to mitigate negative environmental impacts, it is also desirable to design new productive models with the capability to save energy cost, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to minimize waste disposals, and, even more, to recycle nutrients inside the system.
