Net-Zero Quotes

Essentially, by 2050 we need all activities outside agriculture to be near zero carbon emitting if we are to stop carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere growing

Carbon zero simply means that the emissions you are releasing either are zero or balance out to zero.

A golf course should aspire to generate as much energy as it consumes - golf should be leading the way toward energy net zero.

It is not easy to attain carbon neutrality by 2050.

All these corporate reports say they want zero carbon. Well that is ridiculous, because you are not telling us what you are, you are telling us what you are not.

With the Green New Deal, Seoul is taking big steps to transition to a net-zero emissions economy in 2050.

The costs of the transition easily run into the trillions of dollars. The social and economic impact will transform everything from agriculture to manufacturing.

Water is our next great environmental challenge. It is the new oil. How are we going to preserve this sport unless we are designing and maintaining golf courses that are energy net zero, carbon net zero and water net zero? Or ideally, energy positive, carbon positive and water positive, where they are taking out more than they are using.
