There is no better way to grab attention by launching a marketing campaign that involves interaction with people, done in public places.
This is exactly what WWF Paraguay is doing.
In order to raise awareness on global warming issues, WWF Paraguay launches Global Warming Menu – an on-the-road event featuring cooking for lunch – done on the asphalt.
What? Yes, you heard that right. WWF Paraguay team cooks meals on the asphalt and serve them. They look nice. No stove required. It’s an interesting event in itself… but the big question is – why?
Paraguay is one of the hottest countries on the earth and its capital, Asuncion, is one of the hottest cities in the world. You may argue that temperature has always been this high in the past, but when you destroy 80 percent of native forest in the past 50 years, that will have an impact on the earth temperature in one way or another.
This is a serious problem. Global warming is a big issue and to raise awareness, organizations need to become more creative in their persuasion. WWF Paraguay has done it pretty well – just have a look at the comment section of the YouTube video: There are pros and cons and conflicting opinions about global warming, which means that the campaign is a success in term of raising awareness on global warming.
What businesses can learn from WWF Paraguay is this: Talking without action is useless. It doesn’t put your message across to your audience effectively. You need to demonstrate your message. Lesson learned. How about you? What do you think of the video?

On the ranch (Texas), we would clean off a nice size rock and drop an egg or 2 ;) Here in Tokyo/Chiba (which seems to be only about half the humidity it was back in Miami), you can steam boil your food.. :p
That teacher was wearing tie dyed clothing, not the striped/plaid pants on the fool in the article picture.
That’s a very good bill. Thanks for posting the info about it.
Here’s a little more information on the background of the EPA rule. Quite a few other state and local governments (including attorneys general of seven states) with energy companies behind them through environmentalist NGOs (anti-competition regulation through governments) sued the EPA to establish a sweetheart settlement.
Thus, the EPA rule. The intended result is that rural people considering alternative home heating energy systems (including wood) will continue to buy more propane, natural gas and electricity instead—energy sources pricing way up in the near future to make pools of investors running to commodities with various government employment/pension funds more happy.
hell yeah... i can still remember popping tar bubbles as a kin when it boiled
Hahaha.. Yup.. go home and get a good beating for my feet being so unwashable for a week (used toes to pop those bubbles :D)
100%!!! my Mom took kerosene to wash them off... lucky she didn't simply set them on fire she was so mad

Global Warming on Free Republic
Actually, all those hippie teachers in elementary school taught me to look at hippies (and what they became later) with complete disgust.
Interesting. I was exposed to many of these types when I was a kid and developed the same feelings. By the time I was 13 or 14 years old I really dreaded having any contact with them at all.
These were family friends, neighbors and so on.
Nope, but hopefully a little jest to the low energy though. I have one as well as a gas stove, but hopefully, I won’t have the severe prolonged power outage that will justify using either.
I was in Paraguay before this whole "global warming" thing was going on.
Guess what?
You could cook things on the sidewalk then too.
