May 1, 2008 - As you may know, we just released a series of
Widgets to help you explore CARMA. We've been looking at some of the plants tagged using the
Improve Your CARMA widget, and there's a lot of really interesting results to share. The following are just a few plants that you helped find...

One role of CARMA is to provide information on plant and firm-level CO2 emissions to local activists trying to block new coal fired powerplants. I am involved in one such effort in Northern Virginia, where a group with the wonderful name Interfaith Power and Light (GWIPLE) is working to organize religious organizations to combat climate change.

Confronting Climate Change team at

So we thought we’d quickly share two recent sightings from two very different corners of the internet.

April 21, 2008 - We're pleased to announce that CARMA.org was selected as an
Official Honoree of the 2008
Webby Awards. From over 10,000 entries, only 15% were selected as Official Honorees. We feel like we're in pretty good company! Kudos and thanks to the CARMA Team at the Center for Global Development and Forum One Communications. And thanks to you, the users, for helping make CARMA a success. More to come...

As reported in an earlier post, we are releasing a widget entitled "
Improve Your CARMA" that allows users to submit information back to the CARMA site. We are all very proud of the data CARMA provides to users, but we believe that through a collective effort, our power plant data could become much richer. This new widget allows our CARMA friends to collaborate with us by submitting better mapping coordinates, providing images to our Flickr account, and adding feedback about these power plants.
