Energie-Cités Board of Directors,
The Swedish town of Växjö, a member of the Energie-Cités Board of Directors, won the first prize in the “sustainable community” category of the “Sustainable Energy Europe” Campaign Competition. Known as the “Fossil Fuel Free” town, Växjö had already received a national prize of excellence in 2000.
”Fossil Fuel Free Växjö” is an ambitious programme involving all municipal services and companies as well as many local players in the fight against climate change. It started in 1996 when the Town Council decided to progressively stop using fossil fuels and to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2010.
In 2006, more than half of the city’s energy requirements were satisfied by renewable resources and CO2 emissions had been reduced by 25% over ten years! Proof that a strong political drive shared by all the players involved always bears fruit. Växjö is also one of the sixteen examples of innovative European communities illustrated in the “Beacon regions, cities, neighbourhoods…” exhibition.

Hey Mexico! TreeHugger is Looking for a Mexican Correspondent (paid).
by Graham Hill on 01. 1.07
TreeHugger wants to cross-pollinate the globe with green. We´d love to get a passionate, talented, driven writer in Mexico to highlight the latest in green coming out of Mexico. We are also offering a $200 referral reward if you connect us with a successful longer term hire. Sound like you or someone you know? More after the jump...
First and foremost, we are looking for knowledgeable and passionate people. If you're not obsessed with green, please don't bother applying. We also require good writing skills, an interesting voice, some computer skills (image editing & compression, blogging software basics, nothing too complicated) and a sensitive BS detector. You also need to know what is happening in your corner of the world. Ideally, you would be able to do a little on-the-ground journalism (with a digital camera).
We are looking for people who can write a minimum of 3 posts per week. Writers are required to make post commitments and keep them. Please do not underestimate the amount of work that writing for TreeHugger can represent. We need commited people with lots of energy...we´ve got a green revolution to support!
You´d be joining a global team of over 40 people. Awesome and talented individuals from extremely varied backgrounds and nationalities united together in helping to push sustainability mainstream. TreeHugger reaches millions of people so your impact can be seen statistically and anecdotally. It´s truly a job that makes a difference.
Want the job? Here's *exactly* what we´d like you to do. This will help us go through a lot of applications in an efficient manner.
1) Send an email with the following subject line: "TH Writer Hunt: *Where I live*"
Please don't send emails with other subject lines than this one (well, of course you need to replace the end of the subject line with your specific info). Try to keep your email structured and concise.
2) Introduce yourself: Short paragraph including name, location, anything relevant.
3) Tell us which topic(s) you think you could cover for us and why (past experience? do you work in that field? are you just very passionate and read 150 RSS feeds and websites about it each day? any insider connections?)
4) Tell us how computer-savvy you are; Have you ever blogged? Do you know basic HTML? Do you know how to edit pictures (resize, compress)? This isn't critical but you will need to learn if you don't already.
5) If you have one, send us or better yet, link to a few samples of your writing. If not, write a small paragraph about something green.
6) Send us links to 3 things you think would be good on TreeHugger with a one liner as to why.
Referrals:
We're giving a $200 referral reward (paid via Paypal) to anyone who sends our way a good writer that we take on board and keep (there's a tryout period). If you know someone who would be a great TreeHugger writer, let him/her know about us!
That's it! We're looking forward to hearing from you. And if you don't hear from us immediately, that's normal... It's going to take a bit of time to read everything and get back to everyone. Thanks for your time.

si
¿Dejaste las llaves dentro del auto y tienes llaves de repuesto en casa o en algún otro lugar?
Llama a través de tu celular a alguien que esté en donde tengas el otro juego de llaves, sostén tu teléfono celular a unos 30 cm. de la puerta de tu vehículo y haz que alguien en casa presione el botón "unlock" en el control de la alarma, mientras lo sostiene cerca del teléfono.
Eso hará que se quite el seguro de tu vehículo.
No importa qué tan lejos te encuentres de casa, basta sólo con que alguien active el interruptor de la alarma de tu auto a través del celular y podrás liberar el seguro de la puerta o la cajuela.
Funciona siempre.
INVERTIR SU NUMERO DE PIN PUEDE SALVARLE LA VIDA
Si usted está siendo forzado por un ladrón para retirar su dinero
de un cajero automático, usted puede notificar a la policía
marcando su PIN al revés.
Por ejemplo si su número de PIN es 1234 márquelo al revés: 4321.
El cajero reconoce que su número de PIN está marcado al revés
del que corresponde a la tarjeta que usted puso en la Máquina.
La máquina aún le dará el dinero por usted solicitado, pero, oculto para el ladrón, la policía será avisada y saldrá para ayudarlo inmediatamente.
Esta información se transmitió recientemente por la televisión
y declararon en el programa televisivo que raramente se usa
porque las personas no saben que existe.
MUY ÚTIL PARA USUARIOS DE CELULARES:
Es una especie de venganza para el caso de que nos roben el celular: Para obtener el número de serie de tu celular, marca
*#06# sin marcar “send”.
Aparecerá un código en el visor. ESTE CÓDIGO ES ÚNICO.
Toma nota del mismo y consérvalo en un lugar seguro. Si robaran tu celular, avisa al operador y proporciónale este código.
Tu celular podrá entonces ser bloqueado completamente, aunque el ladrón cambie la tarjeta SIM, EL CELULAR NO LE SERVIRÁ.
Probablemente no lo recuperes, pero por lo menos tendrás la seguridad de que quien lo haya robado no podrá utilizarlo nunca.

växjö
- The city of Vaxjo, in central Sweden, claims the lowest per-head emissions in Sweden and the European Union, at 3.5 tonnes. The city aims to reduce this to about 2.4 tonnes by 2010. This compares with the EU overall at 11 tonnes and the US — with its many nuclear reactors — about 24 tonnes. To achieve this requires conversion of the city transport fleet to run on biofuels, encouraging greater use of biofuels by private car owners (the use of 85 per cent ethanol is doubling each year), organising more biofuel outlets at service stations, developing more bicycle paths and reducing household electricity use through increased efficiencies and awareness.
