Dr. Shahzeen Attarti discusses her findings regarding public perceptions of energy consumption. She notes that, contrary to the findings of researchers, the public tends to view energy curtailment rather than efficiency as the better means of reducing energy consumption. Dr. Attari notes that the public tends to make small overestimates regarding energy expenditures associated with low-energy behaviors and large underestimates for those associated with large-energy behaviors. Dr. Attari mentions factors shown to correlate with accuracy of prediction. Presented at the Garrison Institute's Climate, Buildings and Behavior Symposium, 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.
