Countdown to first round of interviews in California

I don't have too much time to write as I am now officially on bridesmaid duty for my cousin's wedding in L.A. The last few weeks have been hectic running around, organizing and getting equipment I knew nothing about a month ago. I interviewed Matt Pawa, the 'Erin Brokovich of climate change' in his garden last Sunday whilst a little rabbit hopped around in his backyard. I felt like I was in the presence of a real life hero.
I start interviewing professors, entrepreneurs and investors next week in Northern California, wish me luck!
Ciao!

The Global Warming "Conspiracy" and McDonaldgate: response to interview with Charlie

Ha! So the take away point: I'm interviewing a lawyer suing ExxonMobil in Kivalina vs. ExxonMobil and others, if you would like me to ask him a certain question, post a comment at www.emissionimpossible.tv, youtube or email at emissionimpossibletv@gmail.com.
Thanks and Go Habs Go,

the Love Police and the McDonald confession

It's my kind of karma that the once in a year occasion that I am hungry and late enough to ditch all my beloved principles for a quick nasty McDonald chicken sandwich I get interviewed about it the same day... oh well.

Anyway, here is my first official interview by the Love Police. I'm a bit traumatized by the youtube comments on the video (1) Climate change is very real. 2) I do NOT have a unibrow), but thanks to Charlie for bringing me all these new friends (hi guys!).
Ok, back to getting equipment and interviews ready for California...



Ciao!
