This past Wednesday, Maggie Gyllenhaal joined Duracell in announcing the winners of their 2008 “Duracell Holiday Ambassadors” — kids ranging in age from six to 15 years that will help spread joy to hospitalized children in local communities.

After the introductions, Gyllenhaal joined the ambassadors in hand-delivering Duracell batteries and Mattel toys to the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York-Presbyterian. For more information, check out the official Power A Smile website. For every picture uploaded of a smile, Duracell will donate $1 to the Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA.

    Maggie, tell me it isn’t so! There is no other company more responsible in the world today for the suppression of better battery technology than Duracell, which is sitting on the best chemistries for military applications only, dooming us all to heck!

    Duracell is at the heart of the Connecticut-based military industrial complex of industries, which still don’t understand that national security means environmental security, and continue to trickle energy conversion innovation through the military technology office.

    Instead they should open up the pearly gates so we can get at the tool shed, to fix the mess we made with the greed of throw-aways.

    Maggie, I hope you will be our Trojan horse, and not fall gullible to Duracell’s greenwashing PR machine!
