A couple of quick election-related links:
WWF has released another of its stonkingly good reports. This one's aimed at the folk in the Beehive (and those trying to get in) but it's pretty interesting reading for voters, too. Be a Good Ancestor Today is a pre-election briefing on the environment, with notes on what WWF think are the most important actions the next government needs to take. Being all about the environment, it's light on economics and heavy on ideology, but it raises quite a few issues I hadn't given any thought to. Get the PDF here.
(If you haven't already seen it, Weathercocks and Signposts is another great WWF report, a must-read for anyone in green marketing.)
Meanwhile Gareth Renowden over at Hot Topic admit's he's wrong about everything. Or rather, Rodney Hide is wrong about everything. Gareth takes down the ACT leader's stance on climate change (global warming rules!) point by point. We love it when he does that.
Over in the other election, a bunch of Hollywood cool kids have teamed up to get other cool kids to register to vote. It's kind of a weird campaign, and I'm not sure it'd work in New Zealand.
Did you catch all those faces? They were ... Amy Adams, Tatyana Ali, will.i.am, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Bacon, Maria Bello, Halle Berry, Selma Blair, Kate Bosworth, Kevin Connolly, Courteney Cox, Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jaime Foxx, Jonah Hill, Dustin Hoffman, Djimon Hounsou, Anthony Kiedis, Ashton Kutcher, Adam Levine, Laura Linney, Eva Longoria, Tobey Maguire, Demi Moore, Esai Morales, Natalie Portman, Giovanni Ribisi, Seth Rogan, Sarah Silverman, Ethan Suplee, Kyra Sedgwick, Michelle Trachtenberg, Usher and Forest Whitaker.
Is it aimed at people with such short attention spans they forget the nonsense at the start of the ad by the time the end rolls around? Worked for me.
