“Don’t tell us it can’t be done” is the name of
Timberland’s campaign on occasion of the United Nation’s Conference on
Climate Change (COP15) in Copenhagen from 7 - 18 Dec where the standards for
emissions will be set. The campaign’s aim is to make the public aware that
they have voices that can be heard. Sign a petition, learn about other ways
to address climate change or stay up-to-date with news from the conference on www.donttellusitcantbedone.com. “It’s
time for companies to look at the effect their business has on the
environment and do something about it,” said Jeffrey Swartz, Timberland’s
President and CEO. “If world leaders set the standards, businesses will find
a way to innovate and make environmentally conscious products and profits at
the same time. It can be done.”
Artists
and thinkers on an interconnected world, borders, identity, and the
replacement of the localisation of birth The Fondation Cartier exhibition ‘Terre Natale’ (Native Land) by
French philosopher Paul Virilio and photographer/director Raymond Depardon
resides with new videos on occasion of the major UN conference on climate in
Copenhagen. Paul Virilio has much influence on the work of designers, artists
because of his philosophical view on aesthetics. Movement is a central theme
in his work; even in his texts about aesthetic. The exhibition ‘Native Land, Stop Eject ‘ runs from 5 Dec 2009 until 21 Feb 2010 at the Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Since 24 Nov, the website nativeland-stopeject.com is online!
