Sahara and Pole Nord Marathon!
From an INSEAD friend - this is amazing!
Hello Inseaders,
a couple of you are already aware that last month I ran the Sahara marathon, and will run the North Pole marathon in a few days as a kick start to a campaign we (myself an an insead friend) have just launched to raise awareness of the effect individual action from any and all of us can have in reducing carbon emissions - http://www.earthfireice.com - check out our website (still in beta, few issues need to be ironed out...) where you can pledge online via a google maps mash-up to make small everyday changes to reduce your carbon output.
As part of this would really appreciate your support in pledging on the map.
And in terms of the campaign itself, would love to hear any ideas, thoughts or suggestions you guys have.
As for the actual marathon itself, well i have had somewhat of a shocker with the training - you can laugh at our misery at www.earthfireice.com/blog !
and if you'd like to make a donation and sponsor me, that would be awesome - all monies go to the charities global-cool.com, pure trust and practical action (see w http://earthfireice.com/blog/sponsors for more details): - easiest is via the website, as you sign up to make a pledge, just tick the option to make a donation;
In addition if you're interested:
+ 6 min video on the Sahara marathon earthfireice campaign which we have just uploaded:
