The Age of Stupid is the new movie from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and producer John Battsek (One Day In September). Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance? It was released in UK cinemas on 20 March 2009, and will be followed by other countries.

Once again I very sorry for not writing in a very long time. I’ve been working on some big projects.

The biggest one actually is a new Canadian magazine called Distraktion Magazine. It’s a magazine for men that will feature subject such as girls, sex, movies, music, games and more subject of interest.

I’m truly proud to say that this will be a green magazine since it will only be available online. You’ll find some quick entertainment on the website but you’ll find the best of them in the magazine.

Distraktion Magazine is set to launch by the end of September. A big launch party will be held in Ottawa, Canada mid September.

I just want to apologize to my readers for not writing much these past few weeks. I’ve been working on a new blog called 360 Blog. We talk about everything so that everyone can find something they like. You should check it out and give me some feedback on what you think about it.

We have 4 writers including myself. We have Adam Major our car specialist. Justin Gareau the music man. And Alex St-Amour our video game master. As for myself, I write about gadgets and men stuff (specially things about women). We each write about other stuff to but these are our main subjects.

I hope you’ll enjoy.

Yesterday I posted a video about the “This Is Reality” campaing trying to inform the public about the negetive effects of coal.

Today Reality started airing our latest ad. It’s called “Air Freshener” and we’re very excited to say it’s directed by Academy Award winners Joel and Ethan Coen.

The ad directly calls out the coal industry on their ridiculous claims that coal is clean, as only the Coen brothers can.

Now we go behind the scene of in the making of “Clean Coal Clean”.

When it comes to being green on the roads, Canadians seems to be ahead of Americans. My friend Michael Graham Richard form treehugger wrote an article yesterday about this. In Canada 7 of the top 10 selling cars are small/compact cars the top 3 being the Honda Civic, the Toyota Corolla and the Mazda 3.

Michael noted that according to data from DesRosiers Automotive Consultants: “In 2008, 51.5 per cent of all light vehicles sold in Canada were entry-level — i.e. small — cars.” But what are the reasons of such a difference between Canadians and our southern neighbors. Some may say it’s a financial issue. Americans maybe have more money then Canadians and for this reason they seem to buy bigger cars. Another financial factor could be the fact that gas is more taxed in Canada.

Gas prices have shown to be a big factor in choosing a vehicle. We can take a look at Europe for a good example of this.

This is why many treehuggers think that a revenue-neutral carbon tax is the best way to make things change, and as long as you reduce other taxes (f.ex. the income tax) by a similar amount, you are not adding to people’s tax burden, and you are not trying to pick winners (like those corn ethanol subsidies from a few years ago that will be almost impossible to repeal, or the preference for hydrogen fuel cells that made CARB axe battery electric car programs like the GM EV1).
