Thinking about Earth Day - April 22, 2011

This is from GM Last year - This shows how much at GM they are working to improve conditions for the furture.

By the numbers, GM:
Has 62 global landfill free operations, and is 87 percent of the way to its 2010 goal of 50 percent landfill-free facilities.  
Recycles or reuses more than 96 percent of manufacturing by-products – more than 2 million tons a year globally.
Reduced its global manufacturing energy demands by nearly 40 percent between 2005-2009.That is enough energy to heat and power 1.33 million homes in the United States. 
"A lot of people here at GM work passionately on ways to make sustainable transportation a reality,” Robinson said. “Others are committed to relentlessly cutting waste in making cars and trucks. By putting these stories on a calendar, we hope people inside and outside GM will begin to understand the breadth of what this company is doing to positively impact the environment.”

What are you doing for our children's future?
