PoCarles.com & US: Saint-Gobain and Second Life : Explaining glazing and playing for real trees
Saint-Gobain Glass, will run a set of conferences, to co-invent with some eco-friendly Second Life residents their next generation of products. The idea is to inspire more than ever both the R&D and Marketing department.
As well as the conferences, there is a game about the best practices for saving energy in your house, by using the right kind of high-technology glaze. Every resident can play (and win !) and then see a tree growing on Saint-Gobain island. The game will stay open until November 18th. Then, for each virtual tree in Second Life, we will plant a real tree in Lebanon by January 2009.

I, Cringely . The Pulpit . The Cringely Plan | PBS
In the early 1980s I was a volunteer firefighter for a tiny community in the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California. We all lived in a beautiful redwood forest and our task was to keep that forest from burning down in a huge conflagration, taking us all with it. The job was made all the harder because our little part of paradise hadn’t burned since the 1920s, so there was 60+ years of flammable undergrowth just waiting to light off. The current financial crisis facing the United States and the world really isn’t much different from that.
