CES Goes Carbon Neutral?

Any eco conscious designer who has been will tell you it’s a trip. We couldn’t help but laugh when we saw the lifted, pimped-out pickup with TV’s in the wheel wells. If you looked hard enough you might have stumbled upon a small, tucked away section called “sustainable technologies”, a glimmer of hope. Aside from Nokia, Dell and HP, many large corporations had no environmental message. Consisting of about 140,000 people, this event is one of the largest in the world. For 2008, CES purchased $110,000 in carbon credits in an attempt to “offset” their impact.*

*Carbon credits are not a substitute for sustainability.
