Eric Prydz Vs Floyd - Proper Education

Global Cool not only advised not only on the video's content but are also working with Eric and Ministry of Sound to make the release of 'Proper Education' carbon neutral. The emissions created through the production and distribution of the CD release will be offset* through the Te Apiti Wind Farm project in New Zealand. The Te Apiti project is one of the first carbon offset schemes to be classified as Gold Standard, a programme endorsed by over 43 critical non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

With 'Proper Education' playlisted by Radio 1 seven weeks upfront, by Capital six weeks upfront, and both Vernon Kay and Jo Whiley making it their Record of the Week, the single looks set to surpass the phenomenal success of 'Call On Me', "It would be great to have another hit," Prydz concludes. "Even more so if it means we're getting the video's message across to as many people as possible."

About Global Cool

The Global Cool Foundation aims to push back the climatic tipping point, by reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 10 billion tonnes over the next 10 years (one billion tonnes per year). With over 26.5 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted globally every year and with an added annual increase of 0.5 billion tonnes, it is predicted that we are fast approaching the climatic tipping point - the point at which the global climate will become irreversibly unstable.

Carbon neutral offset scheme

The production and distribution of 40,000 CDs, a total of 54.8 tonnes of CO2 produced, will be offset through a Carbon Offset scheme funded by Global Cool. The Te Apiti Wind Farm is located on the north side of the Manawatu Gorge on North Island, New Zealand. The site's 55 megawatt-class turbines generate enough emission free electricity to power up to 45,000 average sized homes.page << 1 2 3 >>
