The Future:Media:Change team is pleased to announce the sale of this blog to Koch Industries for an undisclosed sum. I assure you, it’s a hell of a lot of green!

So when I posted about the great Have a Break video Greenpeace had produced on Wednesday I didn’t foresee how Nestlé would manage to fail on such an epic scale on their social media management.

Greenpeace’s new campaign against Nestle’s use of Palm Oil is attention grabbing. So much so that it has already been banned by YouTube and also seems to have had the desired effect on Nestle.

There are a lot of free iPhone apps that make it easy and (because they’re apps) fun to make more eco-friendly choices — and even some that help you take action to save this planet. So, if you liked last week’s post about Apps for Democracy, get ready for a treat.

Ads from Greenpeace and the TckTckTck coalition blanket Copenhagen International Airport featuring world leaders apologizing for their failure to act on climate change. The ads show aged leaders in 2020 with the text, “I’m sorry. We could’ve stopped catostrophic climate change…we didn’t.”

A partnership of several NGOs and bloggers is helping provide coverage and context for climate actions. Climate campaigners were out in force in Barcelona this week. Ben Margolis from Tck Tck Tck explains exactly what they are doing and why it matters — something many NGOs don’t do enough.

Greenpeace launched a new flash-based game this week that asks you to create your customized video petition calling for action in Copenhagen. Action-Pact has a great Facebook Connect feature that lets’s you see all your friends who are taking action alongside you.
