EV News Report CEO Jack Collins
Wearing a Sustainable Race 11K sweatband, Mr. Collins prepares for the future delivery of the Nissan e-NV200 all-electric van, to be christened the Sustainable Race Van.

EV News Report has initiated a sustainability campaign, sending a Sustainable Race 11K sweatband to US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, encouraging Dr. Moniz to race the USA course to a green sustainable future. Sweatbands will be sent to numerous changemakers in the Bay Area in the coming days and weeks to encourage local leaders to sweat the green stuff, to go the extra K for sustainability.

“The Bay Area is the epicenter of change. It’s only natural that we take the lead on the two most pressing issues of our day, climate change and peak oil. We’re running to 100% renewable.” – Jack Collins.

Happy Fourth of July!

Sustainable Race 11K Update

Sustainable Race will have kilometer markers along the course with short messages on San Francisco’s progress on sustainability. Jack Collins will craft the messages, updating the information and ideas each year.

We will be having a group photo after the race with sunflowers in hand. Of course, runners are not obliged to be in the photo, but we hope to see your sweaty face in the picture. After all, you are the founding runners of Sustainable Race 11K.

Trophies for the winners are being designed by Ky Faubion, former president of the Dolphin South End Runners. Winners will also receive a special Sustainable Race 11K t-shirt, distinct from our founding runner shirts in the raffle.

The raffle will be dominated by Sustainable Race t-shirts and stainless steel water bottles. We will handle the raffle rapidly due to the number of giveaways.

Jack Collins will be running Sustainable Race 11K, representing the Pamakid Runners Club (masters running team).

About EV News Report

EV News Report is a community blogging website for electric vehicle and greentech enthusiasts, as well as peak oil activists. We are sharing information and opinions to best facilitate the change from the fossil fuel age to a green sustainable future.

Two major world emergencies are driving this change:

1. There are over 7 billion people on the planet according to the United Nations. Today’s worldwide economic growth is placing tremendous demands on the energy sector. Unfortunately, according to the International Energy Agency, approximately 80% of the world’s energy is derived from fossil fuels. Absent an energy revolution, climate research tells us that the planet will be significantly warmer and altered for future generations.

2. The oil market is expensive and fragile. The door is open to green alternatives; however, high oil prices may destroy the currencies of oil dependent nations before the EV and greentech revolutions have a chance to reach mass adoption.
