Moms Against Climate Change November 23, 2009

While watching ads with my friend the other day, this one tugged at my heart-strings a bit moving me almost to tears. I have a great love and appreciation of children and youth. I wish this were a better publicized advertisement. It deserves to be seen. On the youtube page under the description it says, “http://www.takeactiononclimatechange.com
In December 2009 there will be a UN Global Summit on Climate Change in Copenhagen where our world leaders will make decisions on the fate of our planet, and the future of children. Please take action on climate change help us remind Canada’s leader, Stephen Harper who he’s representing in Copenhagen.”

If I hear any follow-up on this conference I’ll be sure to post about it.

 

Sustainable Rolls Royce? November 23, 2009

Rolls Royce could have an electric version of its Phantom super-luxury car on the road by the end of 2010 stated an inside company source to Autocar.

In a way, it doesn’t really matter to the global market if only a few number of these cars are produced. It’s not going to make a difference for the environment seeing as climate change is billions of tons of carbon!

But if you look at it in another way, it’s a good thing. It makes electric cars even more aspirational.  Rolls Royce definitely appeals to a different social group. Even though most people will never be able to afford a Rolls Royce “Phantom”, they are paying attention to the technology. Before people are going to buy a certain product they like to be confident in it’s ability to function. Hybrid cars went through that process. At first, most people were totally puzzled, but now they’re totally normal.
