Buy Green Drive Green – Radio Commercial

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:06:38 +0000

Radio commercial produced for the EFCCE-Adventure 2009. Strategy: Alper Kasikci Creative Concept: Ted Maas Production: Alper Kasikci Voices: Alper Kasikci and Marieke Lightband After having analysed the market&consumer research results and consumer insights, we saw that the entertaining or positive campaigns did not have an impact. 75 percent of people wanted to drive green but they did not even know that the “ungreen” cars had such a bad impact on the environment or it couldbe as easy as the traditional way of driving or purchasing green. Previous strategies did not work. They counted just as a preparation phase. At this point, a campaign conveying reality without secondary ways of entertainment was the promising way; just as it happened with “anti-smoking” campaigns. When the institutions changed their strategy from entertaining to reality campaigns, 30 percent of more people quit smoking. This comparison encouraged us to consider a reality campaign for “anti ungreen driving” and we also had an advantage: If you quit smoking, you quit smoking; but if you quit “ungreen” driving, you still drive, but you drive green. So awakening people was the objective. It is automobile brands’ job to create affection towards their green models, but our job was to awaken people. This radio commercial was a part of a 360 degrees campaign which consisted of a website, highway billboards, city billboards, TV commercial, Facebook, Youtube and outside non-traditional ambient and guerilla …

Green Technology Furniture Construction

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 23:03:07 +0000

This video shows how furniture can be built using green technology (Zipblocks). Zipblocks are green for several reasons. 1) The biggest reason that they are green is simply because you can use them over and over again. If you get tired of what you built, just take it apart and build something else. In this sensetheir value never diminishes. 2)They create zero waste during construction. When you cut Zipblocks in two you dont create waste you only create two smaller blocks! 3)They can be made out of sustainable resources. The ones illustrated in this video were made out of wood. In this video we demonstrate the assembly/disassembly of a small planter box that has a somewhat fancy design. We chose to make it small and somewhat fancy so that we could demonstrate this building systems ability to effortlessly morph into almost any geometric shape. We get a lot of requests for Zipblocks and/or Zipblock pricing. Unfortunately we have not found a manufacturer to make them out of wood yet so we dont have any to sell and we dont have any exact pricing. Despite this, we do have an idea as to what they may cost when they do become available. The blocks in this movie were made out of cabinet-grade plywood. A sheet of this plywood runs around $33 at your local home supply center. You can easily create 333 two inch Zipblocks from a sheet of this plywood. This means that each two inch Zipblocks costs $33/333 = 10 cents. The blocks used to create the planter box ranged from 2 to 6 cubes …

The Wonder of Green Technology

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 00:04:15 +0000

“Modern technology, owes ecology, an apology” is an old saying. In the case of the new technology in building homes, this proverb seems to be false. Those energy and resource efficient green homes built in Austin are real gifts from modern technology to the environment. Green Homes have become a buzz word in Austin and with technological innovation leading to more energy savings, green technology is making progress towards becoming synonymous with ecology.

Breathe Easy

Many green homes are built using toxin-free building materials like bamboo or straw inorder to combat indoor air pollution, which is much worse than outdoor air pollution. Unhealthy air inside a room is capable of causing serious health problems like cancer and respiratory ailments like asthma. The non-toxic building materials used, include paints without volatile organic compounds and toxin-free insulation materials made from soybeans. This means that you can breathe fresh, non-toxic air.

Energy Dependency

The demand for Green Homes has steadily increased nowadays as they attempt to totally eliminate the impacts of buildings on the environment and human health. These green homes take advantage of renewable natural resources, where possible. These green homes reduces our dependence on conventional energy sources as they generate energy from alternate energy sources such as sun, wind, geo-thermal energy and bio-mass for their energy needs. Moreover water conserving irrigation systems help green homes use 50% less water than standard homes. Water conservation such as this has become very important with many places experiencing less rainfall and longer more intense dry weather conditions.

Green Homes, Cost-Efficient Too

The net cost of owning and operating a green home is usually far cheaper than owning a standard home. Upfront costs may be higher because most of the architects and home builders don’t have the knowledge and experience to build green homes as efficiently as standard homes. However, people living in these green homes save money month by month, as many green homes use 30% less water and 30% less energy than standard homes. Over the years these moderate savings, add up to BIG savings. Green Homes will also keep you healthier, which means, fewer expensive doctor visits and fewer days missed to work.

Regarding design, green homes can be every bit as welcoming, cozy, and spacious as non-green homes. Additionally, there are a wide range of designs available from which to choose when selecting your green home. You can go modern, traditional, neo-classical or for the adventurous even go geodesic dome style. The trend in going green in Austin has grown rapidly. With more and more builders, architects, and contractors learning about Green Homes your choices in a healthy, efficient, and green home are growing!

SO, what are you waiting for? Get your own Green Home and hold the keys for a greener and healthier tomorrow.
