Intel Tops List of Green Power Buyers

Hank Green

The EPA just composed a little list of which corporations are buying the most Green Power in America and tech companies had a pretty strong showing. Intel topped out the list with 1,301,200,000 kW/h of wind power purchased. Though, that's only 46 % of their total energy use.

Second on the list was PepsiCo, which offset 100% of it's 1,144,773,154 kW/h of electricity.

Also making the list was Dell (the only company to buy more green power than the used (158%)), Cisco (40%), Motorola (20%) and Sony (44%.) To see the full list, head to the EPA website.

The Prius, Better Place, and Googling

You can now go design your own 2010 Prius, Project Better Place is testing out their battery swapping system for real, and drinking orange juice is 1000 times worse for the environment than Googling.

Cap and Trade: What is it?

Hank Green

I'm sure you all know what cap and trade is, but when I heard that 76% of Americans either had no idea what it was or thought it had to do with healthcare or Wall Street reform, I had to make this video.

If you've got any friends or family who might not know what cap and trade is, and you think this video would be informative, you should send it along.

In EcoGeek's Absolut World: Nature Fights Back

Hank Green

About a year ago, Absolut Vodka asked what my vision of an Absolut world would be. After a few months of knocking around ideas with my friend Randy Riggs, this is what we came up with.

Basically, we thought that if nature could fight back to each of us individually, instead of making huge slow changes that will negatively effect generations of our entire species, maybe we would better understand what we're doing and be more inspired to create ways to stop it.

It would be a better world if we all realized that this artificial battle we've created between man and nature is one that we can really win only if we stop fighting.
