The Personal Environmental Impact Report or PEIR is a real breakthrough and I must say, I am blown away by the advancements in air emission studies. Producing an inventory or mapping of air emission in a region or country seems like a thing of the past. By exploiting the capabilities of GPS, carbon footprint calculators and applications in telecommunications, participatory sensing has emerged as a method whereby everyone can have a hand in tackling Climate Change.
However, being in this country where highways are built overnight in established residential areas, my hopes and concerns for Climate Change and potential health hazards has hit rock bottom again.

you'll be glad to know that the world is taking the environement more seriously now..even with the rocky economy, the budget for environment protection has not been slashed...instead companies are encouraged to help out via CR. so more companies are attempting to cut down on their carbon footprints via tree planting etc.
