“I was very happy to get blown up to save the world.”

September 30th, 2010 · 1 Comment

As part of this, sparked in efforts with groups […]

Nissan’s aggressive Leaf campaign sets an example

September 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Last evening, my better 95+% was flipping through the channels and received the rare: stop, go back to that. What was that? A Nissan “innovation” advertisement in which the Nissan Leaf played a prominent roll, “if you never needed to buy another gallon of gas …” Watching this well-done advertisement made me think of Who […]

Does BP stand for Begging for Pennies?

August 23rd, 2010 · Comments Off on Does BP stand for Begging for Pennies?

Few people earn a living (or even make money) running a blog site — especially not one that focuses on issues of substance.  People do it for passion, love, ego, boredom, concern for public service … any number of reasons. And, in almost all cases, doing this costs money from indirect (opportunity costs) to direct […]

The Darker Side of Lexus’ “Darker Side of Green”?

July 30th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Under the title The Darker Side of Green, Lexus (e.g., Toyota) has chosen to host a series of “debates” on climate change as part of its roll-out of hybrid Lexus CT200h. These events are hosted by a celebrity, with an environmentalist journalist and prominent skeptic ‘debating’ climate-change issues. To debate or not to debate: that […]

JR Ewing evolves from fossil fool to solar star

July 16th, 2010 · 4 Comments

This guest post comes from down-under.  I had been thinking of writing re JR Ewing’s conversion from stored solar power (e.g., fossil fuels) to renewable solar power.  Unenergy‘s post does a great job. And, well, we must recognize that Sunenergy’s ads are great and merit going viral. I’d put my money on solar energy. What […]

Piss on the planet

April 15th, 2010 · 1 Comment

This ad comes via Canada. GreenCalgary is running an idle-free campaign with, we could say, a bit of a different twist. The negative health and environmental impacts of idling have been known for over a decade. Yet, all over the city of Calgary we are leaving our cars running while not in use for an […]

The Most Environmentally Unfriendly Super Bowl Ad

February 7th, 2010 · 47 Comments

The $millions put into Super Bowl advertising cannot, in general, be seen as anything approaching environmentally friendly considering what is core to most of the messages: consume and, well, consume more. There are, of course, some advertisements that are wrapped in “green” and which have at least a (debatable) case to made that they are […]

Children lay out an A, B, C path re climate change

November 12th, 2009 · Comments Off on Children lay out an A, B, C path re climate change

This is a powerful video from World Wildlife Fund. Take the moment to watch … and, as you wish, share. (And, if you wish, rate it at Youtube.) This is a call for President Barack Obama to go to Copenhagen. The “ABC” call? A. Help developing countries and fragile ecosystems cope with climate impacts. B. […]

Calls on Toyota to leave the Chamber

October 18th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Pressure is mounting, from many sides, on the US Chamber of Commerce, which has been actively fighting moving forward with sensible climate legislation. The Chamber’s position is so severe that, in fact, multiple businesses (such as PG&E) have left the chamber, others have stepped down the board with public statements distancing themselves from the Chamber’s […]
