Hate Something, Change Something – Garrison Keillor Sings About Clean Diesel

Mike — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 11:33:48 +0000

I found this video yesterday, and had to share it. As stated below, it’s a very catchy song and it has a pretty nice message. Also, I know somebody who loves Garrison Keillor. Even several years after seeing my first live broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion in New York, I still get one song in particular stuck in my head from time to time.

Watch the video here.

From TreeHugger

If there’s one thing that clean diesel has been lacking, it’s a catchy jingle. When you idly think of McDonald’s, what comes to mind? “Bah da da da da, I’m lovin’ it,” perhaps? Now, what about clean diesel? Well, if you happen to live in the UK, it might be “Hate Something, Change Something.” The jingle is sung by renowned author and radio personality Garrison Keillor over a charming, clever animation of dirty diesel engines getting transformed into clean ones.

The whole thing is an ad by Honda for clean diesel, and you know what? The message sticks.

Good for you Honda in noticing that we need some change. Cleaner diesel is one step toward a solution. Keep pushing the limits further.

Environmentalists for Obama

View Obama video on environment here.

Thanks to a tweet by PassionateGreen, I just found out about the Environmentalists for Obama group. Although I don’t agree 100% with his ideas about solving issues like global warming (mainly the thought the coal will ever be clean), I do strongly believe he is the best choice available to help move our country toward a greener future.

From Environmentalists for Obama:

I just signed up as an Environmentalist for Obama. Now, more than ever, we need a strong environmental leader like Barack Obama as President. His well-known dedication to the environment has been proven during his years in state government and the U.S. Senate. I think he has the ability to bring people together to resolve the tough environmental and energy challenges facing us today.

I hope you will check out his website and join me by signing up as an Environmentalist for Obama. Once you have done this, you will be given the opportunity to attend or host special environmental events and activities in your area to help support his campaign.

Help Run The 1Sky Ad During The Final Debate

Mike — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:43:39 +0000

1Sky was fortunate to raise enough money to air this very strong advertisement about climate change on the night of the second presidential debate. The ad was created by an amazing environmental activist named Nikos Spiridakis. Nikos may only be ten years old, but he knows what’s important, and how to make an impact.

View The Ad Here

A 10-year old 1Sky supporter and climate activist, Nikos Spiridakis, created this powerful 30 second video message. Nikos’ video captures our collective fear of what will happen if we don’t act now to stop climate change. The more people see the climate crisis through the eyes of this 10-year-old child, the easier it will be to convince our leaders to take bold climate action.

Now it’s your chance to help.

1Sky needs your help to air this ad again during the final debate. Please help, by hopping over to 1Sky’s website and make a small donation. Every bit helps, and with millions of viewers watching we can be sure this important message will be heard.

Also.

Don’t forget to share this campaign wherever you can. Tell your friends, family and anyone else who cares about the planet that we need their help.Similar Posts:

Dem Candidate Called “Wacky” For Suggesting People Walk or Ride Bikes

Mike — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:07:41 +0000

I found this video on TreeHugger.com today. I really can’t imagine who thought this ad up, but thanks for encouraging people to be a little less responsible.

From TreeHugger.com: Here is an interesting political ad that attacks Democratic nominee Kathy Dahlkemper of Pennsylvania’s 3rd district for having “wacky ideas” such as people taking “personal responsibility” and walking places and riding bikes.

New Ad to Fight Back Against Oil Companies

Mike — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 22:37:29 +0000

Break Big Oil’s Lock – Visit the We Campaign to help run this ad.
Watch Video >

UPDATE: I just found out today that the television network ABC has refused to run this ad, and the We Can Solve It group has created a petition to get ABC to reconsider.

ABC recently refused to run our Repower America ad, even though they run ads from oil companies that mislead the American people about the role fossil fuels play in the climate crisis.

Ask ABC to reconsider their decision and air our Repower America ad this Friday.

Please head on over the petition to help.
