Dear Criss,

Today, April 22, 2008, marks the 38th annual occurrence of Earth Day, and PBS NOVA is launching a brand new show titled Car of the Future that features Rocky Mountain Institute. In this special, Click and Clack, the "Car Talk" guys, will hit the road in search of a new breed of clean, fuel-efficient vehicles. Please tune in as they visit RMI Chairman and Chief Scientist Amory Lovins to learn about RMI's work in the fuel-efficient transportation field. To find out when the show will be playing in your area, visit the PBS web site.

RMI has also been featured in the media in many other places lately. For example, MOVE team analyst Laura Schewel presented a paper examining the link between lightweight automobiles and safety last week at the Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress in Detroit. As a result, Steve Gelsi of Dow Jones MarketWatch interviewed Laura and the resulting story is available here.

Our staff are also contributing on a regular basis to blogs hosted by Yahoo! Green and Treehugger on topics ranging from water conservation to smart appliances.

You can always learn about when RMI is in the public eye by visiting our website. Updated on a daily basis, www.rmi.org provides timely updates about what we're doing, when we're in the news, and provides opportunities for you to support our exciting work.

Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, you can access our Built Environment Team's new microsite here.

Sincerely,
Rocky Mountain Institute
