2009 is almost over and we soon have a new year in front of us, and to be honest lets hope 2010 will be a better year then 2009. Our politicians don't seem to take climate change that serious since then they would have come up with a much much better deal by now then they have.

WWF says it all in their blog with this qoute:

The UN climate talks in Copenhagen were inches away from total failure and ended with an outcome far too weak to tackle dangerous climate change, WWF said today.

So it looks like the ordinary person (Average Joe if you like) have to do the most work once again since the people we pay to negotiate these things are just too fat and happy to bother…..So my suggestion to everyone is to make a new year promise to focus all their little actions on the environment next year. Like for example switching to renewable green energy, try to walk instead of using the car for short distances, and maybe bring leftovers as lunch from the dinner the day before. By taking these actions you may not only reduce your impact on the planet, but also save a few bucks ;-)

If you have any money left after buying your Christmas presents, then perhaps you may consider investing in a fund investing in companies working for a better planet (like the SEB Baltic Sea fund/WWF) or giving some money to WWF. You can read more about donating money to WWF here.

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year!

Blog Action Day: Renewable Green Energy http://www.xaviermedia.org/2009/10/blog-action-day-renewable-green-energy/ http://www.xaviermedia.org/2009/10/blog-action-day-renewable-green-energy/#comments Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:07:46 +0000 admin http://www.xaviermedia.org/?p=55 Blog Action Day: Renewable Green Energy is a post from: XavierMedia.org

Today it's Blog Action Day about Climate Change and the idea with this day is to have as many bloggers as possible to write about one subject: Climate Change.

I read in an article that the global IT industry is generating as much greenhouse gas as the world’s airlines!!!! By consuming less CO² you can make a difference for the planet by not speeding up the global warming, but how do you do that an easy way? One way is to do like we at Xavier Media did:

We invested in a wind power plant. This is not only making it possible for us to only use renewable green energy at our office, but it makes it possible for us to save some money too since we get to buy electricity at a much cheaper price as part-owner of the power plant. At the moment we're saving about 10% of our investment on our energy costs.

Xavier Media has always been interested in investments that make a difference especially when it comes to our planet and our environment. This is why we started this blog at XavierMedia.org and started investing apart of our profit from our regular business in companies and fund that donate a part of their profit for good causes.

Take a moment to think about how you can use little means to reduce your need for greenhouse gases and CO² needed in your every-day life. Every little thing helps like for example leaving your car at home for all shorter trips ;-) .

Earth Hour – Save energy http://www.xaviermedia.org/2009/03/earth-hour-save-energy/ http://www.xaviermedia.org/2009/03/earth-hour-save-energy/#comments Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:59:00 +0000 admin http://www.xaviermedia.org/?p=21 Earth Hour – Save energy is a post from: XavierMedia.org

Earth HourThis month on the 28th (last Saturday in March) at 8:30 PM, people and companies all over the world will turn lights off to support an initiative created by WWF (World Wild-life Foundation) against climate change.

According to www.earthhour.org more than 930 cities and towns in 80 countries have already committed to VOTE EARTH for Earth Hour 2009, as part of the worlds first global election between Earth and global warming.

Companies encouraging their local offices and facilities to switch off their lights in support of this initiative include companies like Coca-Cola, IKEA, Electrolux and Hilton Hotels (and of course Xavier Media :) ).

Earth Hour started in Sydney, Australia in 2007 when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. During 2008 this spread around the globe as a global sustainability movement, with over 50 million people switching off their lights. Some of the more famous contributors in 2008 where Golden Gate Bridge and the Coca-Cola billboard in Times Square.

VOTE EARTH you too by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour got an account at Twitter you can follow and you can also see videos at YouTube.com.
