Shanghai Creative Sandbox
An online platform developed by an Australian Googler in his "20 per cent time" has been adopted by the United Nations to show world leaders the extent of global support for climate change action at this month's summit in Copenhagen.
Google Australia's "innovationist", Justin Baird, developed the Show Your Vote platform after meeting US environmental campaigner Al Gore earlier this year and helping develop the web presence of the highly successful Earth Hour campaign.
His platform includes a virtual ballot box that can be embedded into any website allowing people to register their support for sealing a fair and effective climate deal at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen, which runs for two weeks from Monday.
Mitsubishi iMiEV Australian Launch
I led a small team of Googlers who developed and rolled out a new electric car initiative with the Mitsubishi iMiEV electric vehicle in our Sydney office. We installed some of Australia's first charge points and delivered 2 vehicles in Sydney. I also invented a system we called "green credits" that incentivised Googlers to commute by green methods, in order to collect green points to be able to participate in a weekly auction to win the cars for the weekends. During the week each car was resourced on the calendar for Googlers to take out as green taxi replacements. Each car was a remote hotspot, enabled by the first Samsung tablet computers in Australia.
