 David Lawrence, the former Executive Vice
President of Global Exploration for Royal Dutch
Shell and executive Vice President exploration
and commercial with Shell Upstream Americas
has experience overseeing a number of
worldwide exploration operations and energy
projects. Now, he is the chairman of Lawrence
Energy Group, LLC. Since 2011, David
Lawrence has served on the Yale Climate and
Energy Institute Advisory Board.
There are a number of energy-saving tips that
can be used to reduce annual carbon output,
also known as a carbon footprint.
 Some people may wish to first get an
estimate of their current carbon footprint, a
task that can be achieved by using the
carbon footprint calculator at
www.nature.org. When calculating a
household’s carbon footprint, individuals
must first indicate how many people inhabit
the living space. The subsequent questions
cover various areas of household living, the
frequency of travel and flying, matters of
food and diet, and how a person recycles
and disposes of waste materials.
 The carbon footprint calculator can also provide a
person with tips on using energy more efficiently.
Adopting efficient heating and cooling techniques is
a great step. Opening windows during the night is a
more energy-efficient way of cooling a house
compared to running air-conditioning units, while
properly insulated windows can retain heat and
lower heating bills in the winter. Finding alternatives to
driving can also lower carbon emissions. Also, a car’s
carbon output can be reduced simply by properly
inflating tires. For more information, try the Nature
Conservancy’s carbon footprint calculator for
yourself.
