A great video on the future of publishing

Here's a clever video prepared by the UK branch of Dorling Kindersley Books and produced by Khaki Films. We like it and we hope that you'll enjoy it as well:



Here are some more details about it from its YouTube's page:
This video was prepared by the UK branch of Dorling Kindersley Books and produced by Khaki Films (http://www.thekhakigroup.com/). Originally meant solely for a DK sales conference, the video was such a hit internally that it is now being shared externally. We hope you enjoy it (and make sure you watch it up to at least the halfway point, there's a surprise!).

Read an interview with the creator of the video on the Penguin Blog: http://bit.ly/futureofpublishing. The clip was inspired by a video created by an Argentinean agency, Savaglio/TBWA entitled Truth:

Eco-Libris: Promoting sustainable reading!

The green version of YouTube

YouTube is one of these sites where I can spend hours on hours. So much good stuff there...But what about a green YouTube that will be only dedicated to eco-clips? well, finally it is here - Eco-Tube: the place to look for Eco videos about the world.

I joined Eco-Tube's Facebook group lately and found out that Eco-Tube "is covering every aspect of Eco issues facing the human race the website has over 700 films. I’m trying to inform, entertain and educate using films and also promote relevant products which help reduce your impact on the planet."

The videos are divided on Eco-Tube by topics, such as energy, act, news, gaia and fun. I found many interesting informative videos there, but my favorites are the fun clips. I think it's important to show that even a serious and important issue as the environment can be presented in a way that will make you laugh (and hopefully think..). They have even an Eco-Porn video on the fun section! Here's another example:

So check it out (http://www.eco-tube.com/) and if you have some green videos of your on, upload them and share them with the world!

Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See

If you're still looking for a good reason to take action and go green, sit down and watch this interesting video from YouTube (seen until now by 3,129,655 viewers), with the scary name 'Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See' (no worries, there are no difficult images, only talking..):



From Treehugger.com I learned that this guy is a high school science teacher named Greg Craven, set up in his home with a whiteboard and a felt-tipped marker. If you want to see more of his videos (and I understand this video is part of a series with over 40 videos in it), please check Greg's YouTube account.

And the Emmy goes to..

Last Sunday was the night of the Emmy awards. I didn't see it, but later on I heard that Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, hosts of two of my favorite TV shows (the Daily Show and the Colbert Report), presented together the winner of , joked about green stuff, from Al Gore to carbon offsetting. So, I looked for it and found it on YouTube (is there anything that doesn't get there?).

So for all of Stewart and Colbert fans who didn't see it, here it is.

Enjoy,
