It is a great PR / stakeholder engagement move for UNEP as they get on the digital and social media space, and a very positive sign ahead of the COP15 where the use of social media to transform the COP into a public referendum on our collective future is going to be key.

Ok, he doesn't just tweet about the environment but @Schwarzenegger has done a lot on behalf of it. Some tweets:
Doing big things for our environment. Look for other states to follow us. What do you think? http://www.mercurynews.com/...5:50 PM Apr 23rd from web .
http://twitpic.com/3slai - Here I am planting the millionth tree. What action are you creating today?2:57 PM Apr 22nd from TwitPic
On September 27, 2006 Schwarzenegger signed a bill creating the nation’s first cap on greenhouse gas emissions. The law set new regulations on the amount of emissions utilities, refineries and manufacturing plants are allowed to release into the atmosphere. Schwarzenegger also signed a second global warming bill that prohibits large utilities and corporations in California from making long-term contracts with suppliers who do not meet the state’s greenhouse gas emission standards. The two bills are part of a plan to reduce California’s emissions by 25 percent to 1990’s levels by 2020. In 2005, Schwarzenegger issued an executive order calling to reduce greenhouse gases to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.[57]
Schwarzenegger signed another executive order on October 17, 2006 allowing California to work with the Northeast’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. They plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by issuing a limited amount of carbon credits to each power plant in participating states. Any power plants that exceed emissions for the amount of carbon credits they have will have to purchase more credits to cover the difference. The plan is set to be in effect in 2009.[58] In addition to using his political power to fight global warming, the governor has taken steps at his home to reduce his personal carbon footprint. Schwarzenegger has adapted one of his Hummers to run on hydrogen and another to run on biofuels. He has also installed solar panels to heat his home.[59]
In respect of his contribution to the direction of the US motor industry, Schwarzenegger was invited to open the 2009 SAE World Congress in Detroit, on April 20, 2009.[60]

Whole thing begs the questions.What if all the people mentioned here got together as a combined unit and cooperated and leveraged off the fact that they were one brand and were achieving one goal at a time. Does anyone not think that they would not be 10 times as powerful as they are now??

I am concerned about the environment in our world and have been for many years. It hurts me to go to the ocean and see dirty water. I would love to live in a place where streams and rivers are clear. The area I live in has polluted water and air because of mainly the textile industry which provides so many jobs to residents of not only our town but so many neighboring towns nearby. I feel solar and wind power would help so much with making a cleaner place to live and it would save money for consumers because of the reduction in their electric bills or eliminating them altogether. And furthermore, it is very possible that the electric company would be paying these same consumers for the electricity that is produced over what the resident needs to power the home. Go Solar and Wind Power! MakingEnergy.info

I would love to be included in this impressive list of green. My site is just a little over a year now. I am still learning from the best green bloggers in the hopes of turning out well informed things we can all do to make this earth greener for our children, and their children.

I'm a big fan of quite a few of these Tweeps. Two I would like to mention are @greenwala and its founder @chiefwala. Really enjoy these two as well as so many others mentioned here.
how about tweets from the nature island of dominica? they were green before it was the cool thing all the kids today are doing. @nature_island

On September 27, 2006 Schwarzenegger signed a bill creating the nation’s first cap on greenhouse gas emissions. The law set new regulations on the amount of emissions utilities, refineries and manufacturing plants are allowed to release into the atmosphere. Schwarzenegger also signed a second global warming bill that prohibits large utilities and corporations in California from making long-term contracts with suppliers who do not meet the state’s greenhouse gas emission standards. The two bills are part of a plan to reduce California’s emissions by 25 percent to 1990’s levels by 2020. In 2005, Schwarzenegger issued an executive order calling to reduce greenhouse gases to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.[57]
Schwarzenegger signed another executive order on October 17, 2006 allowing California to work with the Northeast’s Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. They plan to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by issuing a limited amount of carbon credits to each power plant in participating states. Any power plants that exceed emissions for the amount of carbon credits they have will have to purchase more credits to cover the difference. The plan is set to be in effect in 2009.[58] In addition to using his political power to fight global warming, the governor has taken steps at his home to reduce his personal carbon footprint. Schwarzenegger has adapted one of his Hummers to run on hydrogen and another to run on biofuels. He has also installed solar panels to heat his home.[59]
In respect of his contribution to the direction of the US motor industry, Schwarzenegger was invited to open the 2009 SAE World Congress in Detroit, on April 20, 2009.[60]
I run environmental social media marketing campaigns as teams.
Whole thing begs the questions.What if all the people mentioned here got together as a combined unit and cooperated and leveraged off the fact that they were one brand and were achieving one goal at a time.
Does anyone not think that they would not be 10 times as powerful as they are now??
