Cate Blanchett talks SolarAid

Why dont you send your plea to the god damn chinese! They make solar drive way lamp's that last for 8 hour's! That take a single rechargable!
Yeap that's right LADY you and your plea forgot about energy storage! Rechargable's here and around the world will poison every living person around the world if left in our dump's! Perhap's you would more effective for a recycling push to keep those kinds of toxin's out of the world's few remaining aquifer's!

So glad to hear from such "positive" people on this planet...cmon...its not the end of the world...YET!!!!

The most beatiful scene of cate.

¡Me encanta esta mujer! Cameron Diaz, Melan Gale y Ella son el trío perfecto.

i'm all for solar technology but i'm confused, Cate, children are making it? isn't child labor against the law?

Well, they are orphans and have no prospects sadly because of no parents to help support them. They need to be trained in skills early, and then given independence to start their own business.

I believe SolarAid is against child labour in the tobacco agriculture businesses as well as other forms of exploitative child labour. In the case of aids orphans; I think its about being pragmatic to ensure they obtain skills early. And its not about corporat exploitation of them, from what I've read.

I'm definitely on board with developing more solar and wind technology--like any technology, it will decrease in price as it becomes more common. I was just thinking that solar-powered lanterns would be great for first-world campers as well, and if I could support AIDS orphans by purchasing one, I'd definitely do it! How about it, Cate? :)

You said it so beautifully,Cate.
I have a vision to help bring clean solar energy to 2 billion people in the world who do not now have access to any electricity at all.

We're trying to get away from coal mining for obvious reasons!
