Greenpeace vs. Apple
| |
| 09/28/06
After a smashing report , Greenpeace has found a new enemy. Apple Computers. But Greenpeace has started a different kind of campaign for this case:
Apple listens to the people who buy their product: it's one of the things we all love about them.
And it's why we want you to run this campaign. We want you to create the campaign T-shirt, pen the speech in which Steve Jobs announces the Greening of Apple, shoot the Apple Ad that sets Cupertino talking about clean production and take-back schemes. The Green my Apple website has all the information and the raw materials you need to get you started. If you're creative, create. If you're networked, network. There's plenty to do, and many hands make light work.
You can also watch a Greenpeace parody of Apple’s latest advertisement. Hit the link below.
By the way, this is written with an Apple Powerbook.

 Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson has joined Warren Buffett and Bill Gates in the eternal fight for a better world. Branson’s mission is to clean our world and to avoid global warming:The money will come from profits from Virgin's transportation and airline businesses and will directed to a division of the company known as Virgin Fuels, Branson said. The new division, which Branson announced last week, will invest in clean fuels and renewable energy.

Doing charity has become the new "black" in Hollywood. Leonardo DiCaprio fights for Bushmen, Oprah Winfrey and other stars autograph dog bones and BONO wants us to buy T-Shirts:Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio has inadvertently been thrust to the forefront of the San people's fight to return to their ancestral lands after the Botswana government removed them.
Survival International director Stephen Corry said on the organisation's website that the San faced extinction "not from war, but from being robbed of their land. It's horrific that this can happen in the 21st century. For this reason people increasingly view De Beers's Botswanan gems as conflict diamonds."

Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, John Travolta and Jake Gyllenhaal are among 40 celebrities who have signed wooden "dog bones" for a charity auction benefitting the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
The celeb-signed bones will be auctioned off Thursday at the organization's second annual Fur Ball event. Proceeds will go to constructing a new animal shelter, said Allison Nutt, a MARL board member and chairman of the Fur Ball event committee.Source: Oprah The lead singer of the band U2 brought his fight against AIDS and poverty to town.

Toxic Ivory Coast
|  |
| 09/18/06
A new scandal is propagated all over the news. Africa has become the garbage dump of rich countries.
There is no doubt that the wastes are deadly. Four of the six dead are children and 23 people have required hospital treatment so far. The fact that the toxic waste was dumped openly on the streets of a city is shocking enough. The fact that the waste was delivered by a ship chartered by Trafigura LTD (controlled by Dutch firm Trafigura Beheer BV), who claimed they thought the waste would be 'properly treated' in a poor African nation raises serious questions about why they sent it to Africa. The fact that international law may have been broken makes it a serious scandal that such deadly incidents still occur today.

The Red Card
| |
| 09/14/06
Now, this is an item! Never heard about a red American Express Card? Me neither. But the card exists. American Express RED. So what is so special about this plastic thing?Every time you spend, you generate REDmoney which is the donation that goes to support (RED)™. Here’s how it works:
When you spend up to £5,000 in any year, we transfer 1% of that spend to Global Fund-financed ** programs in Africa which positively impact the lives of women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Over £5,000 of spend a year and we increase the REDmoney rate to 1.25% for the amount above the threshold.
To get things moving we'll also give the Global Fund £5 of REDmoney when you use your Card in the first month.
There you have it. Only £5,000 a year. Hmmm…
