Obama Gets Personal on Climate Change

The climate change movement took a powerful leap in 2012, when Bill McKibben identified a single enemy for climate activists to battle: the fossil fuel industry. He painted that industry as what branding experts would call “black hats,” referring to old Westerns where the bad guys were so identified, in direct contrast to the white-hat’d good guys, which would be McKibben and his followers.

Educators believe that technology enables a more hands-on experience that allows students to better understand concepts and test theories, and 90 percent of U.S. teachers say modern technology in the classroom is important for students' success, according to a recent Samsung-sponsored GFK survey.

Will the work that I, as the program manager, did for my company to comply be represented well? Will the level of compliance we, as the board room, decided to have, be enough for the NGO?
