4. Started by Google and Intel in 2007, the Climate Savers Computing
Initiative is a non-profit organization funded by businesses and other
non-profits. Currently, Board-level member organizations include:
Google Intel
Hewlett-Packard Dell
Lenovo World Wildlife Fund
CSC Microsoft Corporation
The initiative was started in the spirit of the WWF’s Climate Savers
program. Since 1999, Climate Savers has worked with the private
sector, across numerous industries, to demonstrate that reducing CO2
emissions is good for business!
CSCI’s ongoing Mission is:
By 2010 - to reduce C02 emissions from the operation of computers by
54 million tons per year - equivalent to the annual output of 11 million
cars. By accomplishing this objective - committed participants could
save $5.5 billion in collective energy costs!
5. In this same spirit, the purpose of this program is to build a multi-
platform media & public relations program that can be used as the
template in California markets – and later – as a national campaign.
CSCI’s objectives are tantamount and are woven throughout this
program.
Titled ―Kick-It for the Climate‖ (Trademark pending), a combination of
media, marketing, digital and public relations mechanisms will be
activated to educate and motivate both B2B and B2C targets to change
behaviors.
6. ―Kick-It for the Climate‖ will drive enhanced awareness and change
business and consumer behavior to help reduce CO2 levels in our
environment. This will be accomplished through a collaboration
between CBS, CSCI, Retail Partner* and Corporate Underwriters.
The concept for Kick-It for the Climate includes a custom micro-site,
digital promotion, Radio+Interactive+TV public service messages, and
CBS’ support developing, managing and implementing a customized
program that maximizes impact for the environment, CSCI, Retail
Partner and Corporate Underwriters.
According to the participant’s needs, the program can access all of
CBS’s California assets - Radio, Internet, and Television –and dynamic,
topical and Blue Chip media and public relations platform.
.
7. Consumer Education
• To make ―Kick-It‖ familiar and positive…part of our common
vernacular!!! Something we all JUST DO, like brushing our teeth,
turning off the car, we Kick-It…..
• To make consumers aware of the participation CSCI, the Corporate
Underwriter’s (i.e.: Google, Chevron, Intel etc.) Best Buy and the
progressive steps they are taking on behalf of the environment.
• To provide Consumers with the opportunity to win exciting and
valuable sweepstakes prizes as an incentive to log on and learn
how to change their PC settings to initiate sleep or hibernate mode
after 20/30 minutes of inactivity.
• To make Consumers aware that simply kicking off the power strip
under their desks can make a significant impact on the climate.
• To make Consumers aware they can also purchase Energy Star
computers and peripherals (not just appliances!) and by doing so
reduces their energy costs and CO2 emissions.
• To know where to go to purchase and recycle* –easily find the
brand/product they want. And be rewarded with a FREE Power
Strip when they purchase a participating Kick-It For the Climate
product.
* CBS has several relationships locally and nationally already in place to call upon for recycling
options….this option may involve more detail and investment..but e-waste is a significant issue.
8. Corporate Education

(i.e. WWF) to establish trust with consumers who have been
overloaded with ―green washed‖ messages.
