The Climate Project

 Our presenters are personally trained by Al Gore to provide education on climate change and the threats it poses to humanity and the planet as a whole. You can request a presentation from one of our 1,000 presenters here in the U.S. or visit our partners' sites to request presentations in Australia, Canada, India, Spain, or the UK.
The Climate Project
ABOUT US
The Climate Project, a nonprofit organization based in Nashville, TN, began operations in June 2006 with the mission of increasing public awareness of the climate crisis at a grassroots level in the United States and abroad. By April 2007, a diverse group of 1,000 volunteers from throughout the U.S. had been trained by Al Gore himself to present a version of the slideshow featured in the Academy Award-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. As of August 2008, they had delivered more than 15,000 presentations and reached a combined audience of well more than a million people.
In addition, TCP initiatives have resulted in the training of hundreds of equally committed individuals in Australia, Canada, India, Spain, and the UK. Worldwide TCP's 2,300 presenters have reached an audience of at least 4 million people.
In October TCP will hold its first faith-based training session in Nashville. The program will result in the training of an exemplary group of faith leaders to deliver a version of the TCP slideshow and engage in other activities related to climate change education.
TCP's U.S. presenters remain linked through an interactive network anchored by our website, which also provides a comprehensive support system. The TCP staff aids presenters by providing assistance with organizing presentations and handling logistics, educational material for distribution to audience members, and promotional materials such as press releases. The staff aims to support presenters in every facet of their work as climate change messengers.
The Climate Project thrives as a result of the commitment, dedication, and passion of presenters to educate, encourage, and promote dialogue about climate change as well as potential solutions.

LOUIS VUITTON
“Simple actions make big differences” Yves Carcelle, President of Louis Vuitton  LOUIS VUITTON ENVIRONMENTAL CHARTER
A long-standing priority
Protecting the environment has been a long-standing priority for the LVMH
Group. The luxury industry, which is synonymous with beauty and excellence,
must strive even harder than others to be exemplary in preservation of the
environment. In 1992, Bernard Arnault, Chairman and CEO of the LVMH
(Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton) Group created a Directory Board for the
Environment. In 2001, Bernard Arnault signed the “Environmental Charter”,
which requires every Group company to establish a management system
dedicated to the environment, and to take into account the environmental
impact of its activities. This commitment was renewed in 2003 with the
signature of the Global Compact of the United Nations launched by then
UN General Secretary, Kofi Annan. Signatories must apply and promote
ten principles in the field of human rights, labour and the environment.
Like all human activities, LVMH companies use air, water, fossil and mineral
resources, produce waste and generate emissions into the air, the water and
the earth. To reduce the imprint left on the planet, the LVMH Environment
Department has long taken initiatives to raise environmental awareness
among Group companies. A total of 8,680 hours were mobilized in 2006
to train collaborators of Group companies and to encourage them to
adopt “green” gestures. The LVMH Environment Commission, which is held
every quarter, is a forum where the correspondents from each of the companies
in the Group can share their ideas and experiences. LVMH has also developed
practical tools such as the Environment Intranet and the “Environment Trend
Book”, which informs designers and managers of new materials, to help
them create without destroying nature.
Louis Vuitton’s commitment
The transmission of know-how and heritage is the basis of our company,
which was established more than 150 years ago. Our culture is steeped
in the transmission of know-how and tradition. Such values naturally lead
us to the respect of human heritage, first and foremost nature.
In 2004, we decided to implement the Carbon Inventory. The Carbon
Inventory has allowed us accurately to measure the impact of our activities
on the environment. Since then, we have been efficient in modifying our
organization and reducing our carbon dioxide emissions. Moreover,
this initiative has raised the environmental awareness and sense of
responsibility of every individual within the company whatever their role
or field of expertise, as well as that of our partners.
Every one of us is responsible for protecting the environment. Following
our conviction that simple actions make big differences, Louis Vuitton
hopes to reconcile human creativity and the environment to favour
sustainable development.
Yves Carcelle,
President of Louis Vuitton
A little history…
Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton has long nurtured a natural and sustainable
commitment to protecting the environment. At Louis Vuitton, designers and
craftsmen produce high-quality products that are created to last: an original
conception of sustainable development. The hands of Louis Vuitton’s craftsmen
know how to respect natural materials such as wood, raffia, cotton and leather.
Designers learn to assimilate the environmental impact of their activities.
Latest technologies are proposed to them to help create with less polluting
materials. To reconcile creativity and nature… this is the wish of Louis Vuitton
which is passed on from generation to generation. |
