R u the Energuy? December 29, 2008

Very interactive game with a great purpose from the canadians!

How to play: Pull the Energuy by the wrist. Point up, down, left, right throughout the 5 rooms and click on objects you think are not energy efficient. For every correct answer you get (20 in total), the Energuy performs a little dance, move, somersault etc. Pull him harder and he can even fall down or hit the ceiling!

Scoring: Show how environmentally-minded you are within 2 minutes. Then on the results page, mouseover each object you found to learn how it can save you money!

If you have a desperate eye on your monthly bills like me, this provides you some great tips on how to save energy ($$). Start with little tweeks in our daily lives, and live in a greener world.

Innovolt on NBC 11Alive! October 31, 2008

A return from the idling+job-seeking routine, I bring you news from my old company! Innovolt Inc.

We’ve always been big on going green. But what does it takes to become green? Ex-colleague, Michael Maziar, has his views to share.

The notion of going green needs to be a collective force from different institutes and individuals. It will be exciting to see how businesses and governments try to approach the public more actively to spread the green action. There needs to be more activities like the GreenBusiness Works Expo.

In Singapore, supermarkets give small monetary incentives to their customers to promote the use of reusable shopping bags in place of plastic bags. First inform. Then engage. How else can we (or businesses) all help to achieve that?
