Pioneer Opinion

1 How do you want to take your stance in the Club of Pioneers?
 
I want to be able to express my opinions regarding the products and the consumers that will, together with the earth, create the ecosystem of the future.
2 Tell us a personal story about being more green at home:
 
Being "green" is about maximizing the efficiency of the thermodynamic systems in a way that maximizes its desired output to each unit input of energy. Keeping that in mind, I recently replaced my central air conditioning system with one that provides higher cooling tonnage per kW of energy consumed. It cost more money, but the investment is paid of in the satisfaction of knowing that my house is cooled by an efficient system that wastes less energy than other systems.
3 Why would you take a stance with an eco-friendly car?
 
I'd like to make a statement
4 Who is your most favourite pioneer of all time and why?
 
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, also known as Le Corbusier, is my favorite pioneer. He revolutionized the world of architecture by re-inventing the house as a machine for living. He inspired us all by breaking new ground and showing that the beauty of a living structure is in its geometry and function, rather than ornamentation.

9 Imagine a day in the lives of your children in an eco-friendly future:
 
Simply put, it will be a day when every kilowatt of the energy consumed is efficiently converted to near 1 kilowatt of usable energy such as transportation, heating, and electricity.
10 What's already part of your eco-lifestyle:
 
House: from energy efficient dishwashers to LED-based bulbs - My home is green.
Food: I love the fresh taste of healthy organic food.
I minimize energy waste by managing the systems in my house and in my environment so that they only consume energy for a justifiable purpose.
11 A car that runs on clean energy should look:
 
Fast: like a DeLorean for the next century.
12 Do you agree?
 
Driving clean energy vehicles is an important step to preserve the environment.
Prosperity can help us build the kind of world we want.
Scientific exploration and innovative design are the best tools for a green future.
