Dr. Shahzeen Attari's research highlights public perceptions of energy consumption, noting a preference for curtailment over efficiency as the primary method for reduction—a view contrary to expert findings.

Her work indicates that the public tends to slightly overestimate energy costs for low-energy behaviors while significantly underestimating them for high-energy behaviors. Attari also identified factors correlating with the accuracy of these predictions.

These findings were presented at the Garrison Institute's Climate, Buildings and Behavior Symposium in May 2010.

Dr. Shahzeen Attari explores global climate change, its causes, and effects. She emphasizes the U.S. responsibility to reduce carbon emissions, contrasting supply and demand-side solutions.

Her presentation, delivered at the Garrison Institute's Climate, Buildings and Behavior Symposium in May 2010, also covers public perception of energy use, effective methods for behavioral change, and her ongoing research. Further details are available in Part 2 of her presentation.

Anthony Chang discussed green initiatives in his building, which emerged from dialogue between tenants and the landlord. These efforts led to the formation of a building sustainability committee and cultivated a culture increasingly aware of waste generation and energy use.

Chang presented these findings at the Garrison Institute's Climate, Buildings and Behavior Symposium in May 2010.

The 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill, which devastated Alaska's Prince William Sound with 10.8 million gallons of oil, severely shook public confidence in corporate America.

This disaster painfully exposed the environmental cost of business and highlighted companies' insufficient accountability for their operations' social and environmental impacts.

Just six months later, a group of investors launched Ceres, a nonprofit dedicated to tackling these critical issues. For more, visit the Ceres YouTube Channel.
