Mobile talk show

I just finished reading Lexus to 'Darkcast' mobile talk show in CT 200h [w/video]. Lexus is putting out a new advertisment for its CT200h model. With a video series?!?!? Comedian Whitney Cummings will interview a bunch of unique personalities as they drive the new hybrid hatch through their home cities, each episode will be in a new location. These interviews will not be chose at random though. Personaly i dont think this is a good means of advertisment considering people were prepicked to talk. As far as relating this to class, we are learning about the cardon cycle and how too much carbon can cause globle warming since this car is a hybrit it cuts down the amount of carbon that is released into the air.

Low Carbon

I just finished reading China's Urban Low Carbon Future in Shanghai. It was about how there was an expo in china at the China Pavilan. This expo was held to talk about lowering the carbon use in china. In reducing the carbon amount many jobs open up in "wind" or solar energy. This is an energy saving way to produce light and heat and reduce the amount of carbon. Personaly i think that the U.S should also begin to use this idea not only will it save energy but it will also open up jobs and perhaps lower the unemployment rate. This relates to class because saving energy is something we unknowning do all the time. Or dont do.. depending on who you are. And you cant forget Mr. suters whole class period talk at the begining of the year on how teenagers dont turn lights off when we leave a room! =]

This shows where the expo was held. All the lights are run by solar energy!!!!!
