Step 1: Change those energy wasting lightbulbs!

Thanks for joining the energy revolution. Changed your lightbulbs to energy savers already? Then come here to report back!

We're guessing you've already started. You've probably changed all the lightbulbs in your home to energy saving compact fluorescents already. You're saving the environment as well as saving money on your electricity bill.

Now we want you do something for someone else. Maybe it's a friend who hasn't gotten around to changing their lightbulbs yet, maybe you know an older person who can't easily reach high up light fixtures. Whoever it is, help them out by changing at least one of their bulbs.

7 steps towards an energy [r]evolution

Today I received an e-mail from Greenpeace with yet another interesting campaign which I'd like you to join. This time is not about Apple and the Greener Apple but about making and energy revolution and stopping to use (en la medida de lo posible) fossil fuels and instead, use renewable forms of energy such as wind and solar energy.

But what can we do from home to use less energy? You can start with your lightbulbs.
We're starting with the most outrageously wasteful of electrical household items: the incandescent light bulb. Consider this: A simple switch to energy saving bulbs in the European Union alone would save 20 million tonnes of CO2, equal to shutting down 25 medium-size dirty power plants; and this is before we consider the efficiency of other household products, or even cars!
Y aquí ya voy un paso adelante porque en mi casa usamos de estos focos desde que salieron :)

Why don't you try them? Revolutions start with individuals getting together for a common goal. That's why the next steps are about sharing this idea with your friends and community. Then you'll be ready to challenge governments and influence businesses.

Así que cambien sus focos de 100 watts por ahorradores AHORA!

A Greener Apple

¿Qué es imposible? Hoy, lo primero que vi por la mañana es que si se puede cambiar el mundo. Apple publicó en su sitio web un banner donde hablan acerca de hacer una greener Apple, en referencia a la Green my Apple Campaign. Steve Jobs nos dice que
I hope you are as delighted as I was when I first learned how far along Apple actually is in removing toxic chemicals from its products and recycling its older products. We apologize for leaving you in the dark for this long. Apple is already a leader in innovation and engineering, and we are applying these same talents to become an environmental leader. Based on our tangible actions and results over time, hopefully our customers, employees, shareholders and professional colleagues will all feel proud of our ongoing efforts to become a greener Apple.
Pues a mi si me da gusto.
Realmente me siento contento porque participo en la campaña y que aunque realmente solo haya sido un granito de arena, lo puse y hoy puedo ver los primeros resultados de ello. Neta, I love my Mac, I just wish it came in green.

El comic otra vez

Reviví el comic de T.R.I.C.

la verdad no se trata de que tenga mucho contenido, sino realmente son fotos que vamos sacando o nos van llegando y si hay una idea, la implementamos!

Y ya.
