| | WRI Joins Chicago Climate Exchange |
 | | CCX is a self-regulatory exchange that administers the world's first multi-national and multi-sector marketplace for reducing and trading greenhouse gas emissions. |
 | | The Chicago Climate Exchange, which will start its market operations on September 30, 2003, represents the first voluntary, legally binding commitment to reduce emissions by a cross-section of North American corporations, municipalities, and other institutions through the establishment of a rules-based market. |
 | | Early this month, WRI became the largest non-governmental organization in metropolitan Washington, DC to purchase 100 percent renewable sources of energy for its office. |
