Audubon Society Women in Conservation Rachel Carson Award, New York City, NY, May 2012

Three important female environmentalists were recently honored with the Rachel Carson Award by the Audubon Society at the Plaza Hotel in Midtown. NY1's George Whipple filed this report.

The ninth annual Rachel Carson Awards were recently handed out to three distinguished leaders in conservation in the Plaza Hotel in Midtown. The award, named for the author of "Silent Spring" and the founder of the modern day conservation movement, is an icon for Audubon.

"The Rachel Carson Award is probably the most coveted award for American women, conservationists and environmentalists," said Allison Rockefeller, the chair of the Rachel Carson Awards council.

One of the honorees was city Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan.

"I think women are extraordinarily important. I think that raising families, cooking food, everything from seeing birds in the trees to bread on your plate is really impactful," said Sadik-Khan. "Having a larger sense of family and having a larger sense of community and having a larger sense of what we need to do for the planet is very much a very big concern for women."

The Reverend Canon Sally Bingham of Interfaith Power & Light, another honoree, organized the religious community to become more environmentally friendly.

"How could you love God and love creation and not be a leader in the environmental movement?" asked Bingham.

The third award recipient was Hunter Lovins, the president of Natural Capitalism Solutions, who explained how capitalism and conservation can co-exist.

"When those wild-eyed environmentalists at Goldman Sachs tell you that the companies that are the leaders in the environment, social and good governments policy have 25 percent higher stock value than their less sustainable competitors, there's a business case," said Lovins.

Philanthropy is a bit of a tradition in our family, so it won't surprise you that Allison Rockefeller's middle name is "Whipple." She's my sister, and I'm very proud of her.

The time when businesses could operate without regard for their environmental impact is long past. Many companies now calculate their carbon footprint, minimize their packaging, switch to efficient energy sources wherever possible, and some even purchase carbon offsets. The U.S. is no longer in a race to the bottom with Asian manufacturing giants, but a race to sustainability and efficiency. Innovative companies are looking beyond the costs of climate change and toward business strategies that capitalize on new opportunities, innovate and spur economic growth. Time Magazine Hero of the Planet Lovins argues that moving aggressively to solve global warming, peak oil and weaknesses in our energy infrastructure will give us a stronger economy and higher quality of life.

Google Tech Talk (Mountain View, CA), August 2008

This presentation is drawn from Hunter's recent lead chapter in the U.S. Presidential Climate Action Project's report to the President-elect. It describes the business case for moving aggressively to solve such challenges as global warming, peak oil, the vulnerability of our energy infrastructure and others. Hunter discusses how climate protection, energy efficiency, renewable energy and other sustainable approaches will give us a stronger economy, and a higher quality of life. Hunter discusses how to unleash the new energy economy as the antidote to life in a carbon constrained world. The global climate crisis threatens many aspects of life on earth, including access to water. Energy is a relatively easy challenge to solve. But providing access to water, both at home and in water-short regions around the globe will not be trivial. Fortunately, in water, as in energy, there are solutions that cost less, work better and can deliver a higher quality of life. Hunter will describe how communities and companies are implementing these and many other strategies to cut their costs and drive their innovation.
