Timeline: The Jewish Energy Guide was first developed in the summer of 2011; revised in 2012 and 2013; released online as individual articles during 2013; and published as a book, in print and online, in January 2014 to celebrate Tu B’Shvat. Efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the statements and data presented as they have changed over time. (For example, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased from about 390 parts per million in 2011 to about 400 parts per million in December 2013.)
