Description
Celebrate Obama’s Inauguration on January 20th and the launch of 3rdWhale’s iPhone app, which helps you make environmentally sustainable purchasing decisions while on the go. The app is now launching in Vancouver, and soon across all of North America.
If you’re not familiar with 3rdWhale yet, you soon will be (at least, that’s the hope...). We’re a young technology start-up from here in Vancouver, with the goal of enabling sustainable living through the use of mobile and web technologies. Our first release is the 3rdWhale iPhone app, which will be in the Apple Store shortly.
So what does Obama have to do with it? Obama’s Administration is focusing a lot more attention on the ‘green’ economy, through investment in alternative energies, stronger carbon fuel standards and reduced dependence on foreign oil. We expect that any widespread shift in US policy will be reflected with a similar shift in Canada. We’re at an incredibly important crossroads in modern human history, and though Obama doesn’t have all the answers, we believe he’s asking the right questions.
Besides, after the last 8 years, isn’t it time for a little celebration? Come out to watch the inauguration speech and celebrate! We will be handing an iPod Touch to one lucky person registers an Act of Green at the party.
See you there!
P.S. A BIG thank-you to Habitat Enterprises for making this event carbon neutral! Do your part by walking, riding your bike, or coming to the event by public transit!
