CBS EcoMedia’s Revolutionary Advertising Model Creating Positive Social Change Across Nation
CBS EcoMedia developed patent-pending advertising programs that are truly game changers in the media industry. Its EcoAd, WellnessAd and EducationAd programs empowers advertisers to fund critical projects that improve the quality of life in communities nationwide.
One of many examples to that end was yesterday’s celebration of a new community learning garden at KIPP Charlotte — a free, open-enrollment, college preparatory public school – which was made possible by funding through AT&T’s EducationAd. The garden now enables KIPP Charlotte students to provide community service and address local hunger and nutrition issues by donating the fruits and vegetables to local Charlotte-area shelters and other community agencies.

Obama Counterpunches on Climate Change
After Romney’s convention speech mocked some of Obama’s 2008 statements about rolling back the rising seas and healing the planet, Obama fired back by laying out energy goals and even acknowledging climate change in his acceptance speech.
“My plan will continue to reduce the carbon pollution that is heating our planet – because climate change is not a hoax,” said President Obama. “More droughts and floods and wildfires are not a joke. They are a threat to our children’s future. And in this election you can do something about it.”
