Timberland boots have been around for over 35 years, and the name stands for quality, utility and comfort. Recently, the Timberland Co. published a formal white paper that lays out the climate change strategy it will use to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2010.

The emissions the company is targeting are produced by employee travel and the offices, distribution centers, retail locations and manufacturing facilities it owns. Timberland plans to offset the remaining emissions it can’t reduce directly to make its operations carbon neutral. These direct emissions, however, only represent 4 percent of the total emissions associated with its business.

Since 2006, the company has reduced direct emissions by 27 percent by using less energy, sources more power from renewable sources and engaging its workers. Lighting retrofits, building improvements and energy efficient equipment have cut energy consumption by as much as 30 percent in some of its largest buildings.

The raw materials alone used in its products produces nearly 18 times the emissions generated by its direct operations. Since 71 percent of the emissions from Timberland shoes come from raw materials, the company created a product environmental rating system to help designers make more environmentally friendly decisions at the early design stage. Called the Green Index, it measures emissions generated by raw material extraction through finished product.

The company also started a Leather Working Group to rate leather tanners for environmental performance. By the end of 2009, Timberland shoes will source all leather from top-rated tanneries. It also began using repurposed rubber in the soles of some of its boots, as well as reduced packaging.

Nobody wants to find themselves in a disaster, but if you found yourself in such a situation, you would want Cade Courtley - or at least his advice - to be right there with you. A former Navy SEAL, Courtley will teach viewers how to survive a nuclear attack, an avalanche, a home invasion, a hurricane, an earthquake and other such catastrophes in Spike’s 10-episode series Surviving Disaster, which he describes as “a hybrid of drama, documentary and a little bit of reality.”

He puts everyday people through simulated disasters, much like the ones he experienced in military training. “They would put us through the very worst so that when we were out there in actual situations, we were familiar with it and it was easier to deal with. And that, in a large part, is what we’re doing on this show.”

Viewers might recognize Courtley from his participation in the USA Network series Combat Missions a few years ago. He has done some other film and TV work as well, including a bit part in the Vin Diesel film The Pacifier, on which Courtley served as a technical advisor. Courtley thought that chapter of his life was over before an old friend reached out to him.

“I was over in Iraq [working in the private sector for a government agency] when I got a random e-mail from one of the execs at Spike that I had worked with maybe eight years prior on Combat Missions,” Courtley says. “He was a PA on that. Fast-forward seven or eight years, I get a random e-mail. He’s saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got this show here. We’re looking for somebody. We think you’d be perfect.’ I wrote back, ‘Hey, I’m not really doing the Hollywood thing anymore. I’m kind of busy right now in Iraq.’”
