Toolbox

Hey it's me Abel putting up the first post....

We had a toolbox lesson yesterday afternoon, about Kyoto Protocol, For 49 minutes we talked about the Kyoto Protocol and what it is all about. We only had 8 people in this session (two groups)

It was all pretty interesting, (for me at least) We talked about cheaper and cleaner energy alternatives, and about Emission Trading. The Kyoto Protocol is an agreement where agreeing countries reduce greenhouse gas emission levels by 5.2% by 2012. This is where Emissions Trading comes in it is a process where countries who cannot reduce greenhouse emissions by 5.2% can buy credits off countries who have reduced extra greenhouse emissions. So that countries who are having a hard time can just buy the reduced emissions off countries who have done extra.
