Hi all,
Amidst so much awful news and pessimism about the US (in particular) and other world leaders commitment to a future with humans in it, here are a couple short presentations on my local group's 3rd EV Expo. It took a lot of time, but hopefully changed a few minds about the practicalities of EVs.
Here is a link to a 4MB presentation about the EV Expo.
And here is a YouTube link to the True Kids 1 video.
My best to all,
Paula
A great event, Paula! And as you say, hopefully it changed a few minds, and also inspired the young people to take up the cause!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula for your message and the clips on local initiatives. They are great and I hope many other cities will adopt this idea. I think such initiatives at local level could possibly achieve zero emission by many towns and cities on their own by adding solar cells and small-scale hydropower for other energy needs besides the electric vehicles. It is almost impossible to achieve this aim at the national level in many countries.
ReplyDeleteToday there are numerous news by fossil fuel advocates questioning the Stockholm/UNEF report released on 20 October, some even claiming it as exaggerated. It is simply incomprehensible that people (all of them millionaires and billionaires) are unwilling to accept that there is a serious problem at our hand.
At the moment it is just Surinam and Bhutan (both countries with less than a million people) which achieved net zero emission in 2014 and 2011 respectively. While these are small countries small and medium size cities can possibly emulate some of their initiatives.
In Burma all the street lamps in bridges in the highways are powered with solar cells. I am sure many countries must have similar initiatives. But the question is how can such initiative be universalised.
Have a good evening
