“Earthshot” Prize a Nod To Kennedy’s Moonshot
From this piece in the New York Times:
The Earthshot Prize, an independent charity that was recently broken off from William and Catherine’s Royal Foundation, awards 1 million British pounds, or about $1.2 million, to each of five winners, one in each of the prize categories: nature conservation and protection, air quality, ocean revival, waste-free living and climate action.
The categories seem well-chosen to me, though any of a couple of different frameworks would have been equally valid: clean energy, clean transportation, sustainable agriculture, etc.
As suggested here, Fox News serves a cause that it almost completely political. To a lesser degree, one could make the same point about MSNBC, but the only reason you’re going to run across a story on Fox is that it’s calculated to make white people meaner and angrier.
The problem, of course, is that most of these people couldn’t care less. They don’t need an education any more than they need a second nose.
Often here at 2GreenEnergy, we muse about how thoroughly shut off Trump’s base is from reality, and how they can’t seem to ask themselves questions that would cause them to challenge their beliefs.
This is funny, but indicative of something important.
Ever since Donald Trump came onto the political scene in 2015 and began making outrageous statements, people have been wondering why those around him don’t prevent him from making a jackass out of himself. The answer, presumably, is some blend of “I’m scared of his wrath” and “I’m powerless to make a difference.”
Rebranding a company is an enterprise I’ve undertaken dozens, probably hundreds of times. The game here, of course, is to align the client’s organization with something that already exists in customers’ minds.
For some reason, most Americans find it hard to imagine that fascism is creeping into U.S. politics.
