As we approach COP 15 the need to address vehicle emissions becomes more obvious.
In this video we show a 1996 gasoline made citroen that was converted to ethanol and is fueling 100% ethanol and running perfect.

On December 7, 2009, the Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy will gather delegates from all over the world to meet in Copenhagen for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, (aka COP15). The goal of Danish government is that the “COP15 conference will result in an ambitious global agreement” that include every country of the world. This will be the global green event of the year and is controversial taboot. Current Green will be keeping you up to date on all the latest developments and will provide a 360 degree point of view of the conference via guest bloggers over the course of the next few months. This week our guest blogger is Joshua Wiese, the coordinator for the Adopt a Negotiator project, a unique program that is connecting young people to the political leaders who are attending Copenhagen.
You’ve probably already heard - less than three months from now, negotiators from more than 190 countries around the world will gather in Copenhagen to sign a global deal aimed at addressing climate change. This December’s 15th Conference of Parties (or COP15, as it’s often called) may be our best and last shot at forging a global deal in time to prevent the worst possible effects of climate change.
What you may not know is while some of the names and faces have changed, the same negotiators representing you in Copenhagen this December have represented you and your interests all year, and for years prior. This December’s global climate deal will be the outcome of a series of meetings and negotiations where delegates gather and argue their positions in your name.
Do you know who your negotiators are, or what they’re saying on your behalf? Earlier this year, a new project was launched to help you find out - introducing Adopt a Negotiator. We’re a small team of young people, spread out around the world, dedicated to tracking our negotiators and encouraging them to a come up with a bold, fair and binding climate deal that ensures all of us have a future.
We started when negotiators met in Bonn this last June. We joined them: sitting in on working group sessions; meeting our lead negotiators, and working with staff from organizations like Oxfam International, WWF, and the Climate Action Network to help sort out the details and potential impacts of any major announcements.
Our hope is that by attending negotiations from now through December, blogging about them, and creating links between you and our negotiators, we can keep a close watch on the process and encourage our leaders to come up with a fair, ambitious and binding climate agreement in Copenhagen in December.
With less than three months left before the world comes together for a global deal to address climate change, we invite you to join us for the rest of this journey, tracking our negotiators on the road to Copenhagen. We’re headed to the next round of negotiations in Bangkok at the end of September, and once there, we’ll be blogging daily to keep you up-to-date. You can facebook us, tweet us, and join in interactive discussions so we’re finding out exactly what you want to know.
