Geraldo will be speaking about jointhepipe at this event at Jimmy woo on the 26th Febuary 2009, along side Ruud Koornstra. See you there!




Je bent uitgenodigd voor het duurzame (netwerk) evenement Cleandrinks, op donderdag 26 februari in de Jimmy Woo in Amsterdam! Dit event is bedoeld voor de 'clean' denkende mensen. Het staat garant voor nieuwe kansen, nieuwe kennis, nieuwe kennissen & veel fun. Aangezien jij een mooi en inspirerend mens bent met kennis van alles en niets, ben jij van harte welkom. Clean is eerlijk, duurzaam, luxe en zeker ook sexy: dus laat die geitenwollen sokken maar thuis! Anno 2009 zijn er geen opofferingen meer nodig om luxe, business en duurzaamheid samen te laten gaan en daar praten we graag over. Wij zien je graag op 26 februari 2009 in de Jimmy Woo. De avond begint om 20:00 uur, waarna deze om 23:00 zal overlopen in een bekende clubavond in de stijl van de Jimmy Woo.
Reserveer je kaartje door een email te sturen met je naam en email adres naar rsvp@cleandrinks.nl.
Je mag natuurlijk nog iemand meenemen.

Tuvalu Documentary

The money that Jointhepipe raised at their christmas auction was donated to some friends of ours, Stephie Fischer and Ryan McManus who are making this fantastic documentary.   
                                                      
"We live in constant fear of the adverse impacts of climate change. For a coral atoll nation, sea level rise and
more severe weather events loom as a growing threat to our entire population. The threat is real and serious,
and is of no difference to a slow and insidious form of terrorism against us."
-Saufatu Sopoanga, Prime Minister of Tuvalu

In February 2009 we will journey to the South Pacific island chain called Tuvalu.
The purpose of this trip is to spend 3 months on the island, with the local people, documenting the crisis
that they are facing. Their country is sinking due to rising sea levels.





We believe it is important to make the world aware of the fact that global warming is having its
first real human impact. That the melting icecaps are not just effecting polar bears and arctic land mass
but that the warming of the globe is actually displacing people, just as an ice age did so long ago. We
feel that this subject is the first proof of humans being effected by global warming and is a subject that
will resonate with people when presented in the right way.
