   “as the world struggles with the increasing impact of climate change (huh?), we need companies that are WindMade™”
   http://windmade.org/

   New wind brand to sell sustainable products
   With brand leads consumers to actively choose products that are produced through sustainable energy.

   The parties want the new brand to take a shortcut, then viewed by many as a hopeless political decision making in several places in the world did not end up blocking the necessary action, says a message from Vestas.

   At the same time, you create the world’s first global wind index to business use of wind energy.

   Wind Made is a nonprofit organization and consumer brand is independently certified.
   – With climate change, global warming and the environment in mind, it’s up to us to build a bridge between the world’s consumers and business, “says Ditlev Engel, CEO of wind turbine company Vestas.

   The Danish company is the initiator of the mark. But the label and an associated NGO organization formed in collaboration with other United Nations Global Compact, the wind industry organization GWEC and World Wildlife Fund.

   “Climate scientists predicted this. When they said “snow is a thing of the past” what they really meant was snow in North Africa.”

   I’m not so sure about that Mr. Goddard.

   “Every year during the winter season many Tunisian families brave the cold weather to stroll amidst the vast expanses of snow, engaging in winter sports activities such as skiing, gliding and trekking, or simply throwing snowballs and confectioning snowmen.”
