Our online friend Dan Hancox recently interviewed Ecorazzi for feature on ChinaDialogue.net called “Celebrity Culture Goes Green?” ChinaDialogue is unique in that it is the only fully bilingual environmental website. People can read all of the articles and comments in English or Chinese – allowing two very different languages and cultures to interact and discuss issues. The green celebrity article was used to help launch a new section of the site, Cooler Living, targeted at the younger generation.

It has already triggered some conversation – and although some people probably commented in Chinese, I can read what they said.

One says, “About celebrity green, I think Chinese stars don’t do enough. It is not often to know that a star is calling for frugality not thinking about buying luxurious property. No matter celebrity green culture is true or not, western country has done much more than us.”

Wow, a compliment to American celebrities. That’s a first.

Another comments, “Celebrities consume more resources than common people, thus they discharge more carbon dioxide therefore should be more responsible. However, some stars in China destroy the environment deliberately, leaving the garbages everywhere, that’s so bad.”

Chinese celebs littering on purpose? I now know the next place I need to recruit for ecorazzi!

    New Stories, Going Green

    Did you see any of the Live Earth concerts? Was that news or entertainment or both? The Police are using 12 of our HPL 12 lights on their reunion tour and are saving 48,000 watts, that works out to be 432 amps of power. Transformers used 20 of our HPL 12 lights and they saved 60,000 watts, that’s over 540 amps of power. Our HPL 6 light space light uses 45% less power and puts out twice the output of conventional 6k space lights.
    Let me give you one extreme example. John Buckley the gaffer on the Jim Carry movie Lemony Snicket used 2200 standard 6000 watt space lights for six weeks of shooting, that’s 13,200,000 watts of constant ac power drawing 118,800 amps.
    If he would have used our HPL 6 light space lights with 575 watt bulbs they would have saved 6,000,000 watts and saved over 54,000 amps of power while at the same time getting almost two times the output.
    Ask Al Gore, is that news worthy? He will tell you that it’s not only news worthy but we should be shouting from the roof tops, halaluia. My company has been in business since 1926 and on the forefront of the green movement and fighting the everyday battles for over four years. My money and time is invested in the solutions to our global problems.
    That starts right here, right now. The governor and major talk the talk but it takes people who will walk the walk, roll up their sleeves and get the job done.
    I believe in our future, I believe we have to force change, I also believe that once change is achieved the rewards far exceed whatever pain or expense it may cost.
