Green Event - Hydrogen + Fuel Cell 2009 in Vancouver

HFC2009 is coming to Vancouver this Sunday!  It’s Canada’s largest hydrogen and fuel cell conference and is held every other year.  I used to work int the fuel cell industry - more specifically on hydrogen storage system and I’m excited about this conference as I’ll be seeing some old friends, colleagues, and supervisors.  The conference itself is quite technical and pricy, but between 1:30pm and 4pm on June 1 and June 2, the trade show is open to the public if you bring this FREE VISITOR’S PASS!  Lots of exhibitors including the usual suspects like Ballard, Hydrogenics, and Plug Power.  There’re also booths for projects such as the Hydrogen Highway for the Olympics and Hydrogen Village project in Toronto!  If you’re interested in fuel cells, this is a great opportunity to show up!  You might even get a ride in a fuel cell car!

CBC’s one million acts of green project

Have you signed up for CBC’s one million acts of Green?  This is a project on CBC with The Hour host George Stroumboulopoulos. Essentially this project is to help us realize that small things we do have big impacts!  The website is pretty fancy, i’ll need to spend a little more time to look into it.  

As of today, according to the website, there is a total acts of green of 1,641,800 and GHG emissions saved 92,382,927 kg!

Today’s Green Act - composting at home.

“Ciao!” - Fiat ecoDrive: From Car to PC on a USB

Fiat has developed and launched “eco:Drive” computer application for some of their cars as a methodology for “monitoring and targeting” our driving style.  Essentially it records data during a driving trip on a USB stick and analyzes our driving style - one can see how much GHG emissions has been created on a computer and so on.  Altough not instaneous, I believe that this can help us reduce GHG and drive better! By the way, make sure you check out the eco:Drive website, there’re some driving tips!

Of course, be cooler if it’s instaneous, like Prius’ energy monitor!

Eco Infographics - change lifestyle

HI came across this “eco infographic” which demonstrate how we can change our lifestyles to mitigate and adapt to climate change.  A lot of actions, not suprisingly, are easy to accomplish.

Your thought? I’ll share mine later =)
