“…The project is expected to pay for itself in 3 years. 23 And the Hudson Bay Company claims that its new stores are designed to consume twenty-five percent less energy than if they were built to current building code and overall, the company claims to have saved $41 million (Canadian) on annual energy expenses by installing energy efficient heating and lighting systems (with a two-year payoff). 24 In the U.S., where lighting accounts for up to twenty percent of electricity, these examples offer a glimpse of efficiency opportunities that may await companies that seek them.…”

“…One simple step towards this goal was to dispel the myth that drivers needed to idle their truck for five minutes at the end of the day to avoid damaging the diesel engine. 32 Energy cost reductions shared across sectors and regions. The economic benefits of GHG reductions do not always accrue to one company but can also be more broadly distributed.…”

“…34 And some cities have measured the benefits in economic terms. In Toronto, for example, where buildings generate up to seventy percent of the city's greenhouse gases, 35 the Toronto Better Buildings Partnership has retrofitted 467 buildings, resulting in a reduction of $19 million in annual operating costs; the creation of 3,800 person years of employment; $126 million in economic activity and a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by 132,000 tons per year. 36 The direct investment for these gains was $126 million while the return on investment averaged fourteen percent per year and the simple payback period averaged about seven years.…”

“…For example, Ontario Power Generation challenged employees to come up with GHG solutions, yielding suggestions that cut its internal energy needs by more than 2,000 gigawatts per hour and saving $90 million in energy costs. 109 The Beer Store engaged their truck drivers in identifying ways to reduce GHG emissions through things like idling time, speed and transmission shifting patterns. Then it provided an education program that taught drivers how to drive more fuel efficiently.…”

Expansion of an invasive Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush population in Swan Lake, Montana, threatens a core area population of Bull Trout S. confluentus. Given the recent development of novel suppression methods, such as use of carcass analog pellets to cause high mortality of embryos, there was a need to quantify spawning season aggregation sites, site use, and spawning habitat for Lake Trout in Swan Lake. Acoustic tags were implanted in 85 Lake Trout during the summer in 2018 and 2019. Nightly tracking efforts during autumn in both years resulted in 1,744 relocations for 49 individual Lake Trout. Kernel density analysis was used to evaluate Lake Trout aggregation sites, identifying 10 distinct sites. All spawning sites were located in the littoral zone along areas of steep bathymetric relief, and these sites composed 48% of total relocations during both spawning seasons. In 2019, side‐scan sonar imaging was used to classify and quantify the total area of spawning substrate, which constituted 12.8% of the total surface area estimated for spawning sites 1, 6, and 9 and 11.4% of the total surface area for aggregation sites 2–5, 7, 8, and 10. Simultaneous treatment of all spawning sites would require 205,709 ± 86 kg of carcass analog pellet material, resulting in 370.4 ± 0.2 kg of phosphorus inputs and 7,487.9 ± 3.1 kg of nitrogen inputs to Swan Lake. Thus, pellet treatment would increase the Carlson's trophic state index (TSI) values from 20.8 to 27.7 for total phosphorus and from 22.1 to 26.2 for total nitrogen. Based on a TSI threshold of less than 40 for an oligotrophic lake, the use of carcass analog pellets could be feasible for supplementing the gill‐netting suppression of Lake Trout in Swan Lake.

Invasive Lake Trout Salvelinus namaycush in the Yellowstone Lake ecosystem have been gillnetted since 1995 to suppress the population and allow for recovery of native Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri. Although gillnetting is effective (Lake Trout population growth rate λ ≤ 0.6 during 2012-2022), the effort only targets free-swimming, age-2 and older Lake Trout. We developed a complementary suppression method using organic (soy and wheat) pellets to cause Lake Trout embryo mortality and reduce recruitment from spawning areas. The entire Carrington Island spawning reef (0.5 ha) was aerially treated with 3.56 and 3.00 kg/m 2 of pellets in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Pellet decomposition caused dissolved oxygen concentrations to decline to lethal levels at 20 cm depth in the substrate, and pellets mostly dissipated from the reef within 12 d. Lake Trout fry trap CPUE was reduced to zero
