"The EPA GHG Reporting rule requires collection and reporting of GHG data beginning January 1, 2010 for industries or facilities that emit over 25,000 metric tons of CO2e, with the first reports due by September 30, 2011 . Additional industries are required to collect and report on GHG emissions in 2011.
A closer look at the rule’s reporting requirements signals a shift in EPA’s approach to compliance, indicating that auditable and verifiable GHG data tracking and management has become a necessity at most reporting entities.

At Arpin, we are an EPA partner (Smartway) in significantly reducing our CO2e. We have been for three years. At the same time, we are investing in renewable energy at our remodeled global headquarters with the goal of getting completely off the grid and the coal, natural gas that powers our electricity. We relish the chance to work with EPA on being held fully, completely accountable for our emissions, and mandated to verify our efforts to reduce or eliminate our CO2e.
On one of our first shows, you will hear Wendy Lucht talk about Clean Cities and their partnership with EPA in prmoting alternative fuels, and driving down the CO2e gettting spewed into our air.
I hope you find this article, and EPA's recent changes, interesting and heartening. Let's all get accountable for clean air.
As requested, I have passed on the report.
