It seems that this is your first time to my blog. Welcome!

If you want to know more about me and this blog, check out my about page. And if you want to stay updated on my new posts, subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for stopping by!
Ta-da!
For the fist time in history JarkkoLaine.com is giving away a free product to one of its readers. As the subscriber count is still growing (meaning that it’s not huge yet) you actually do have a chance of being the lucky winner - unlike the giveaways held at bigger blogs or web sites.
Enough advertising, let’s get down to the topic instead. Yesterday I finished watching my copy of “An Inconvenient Truth
As today is the Green Programmer Day here at JarkkoLaine.com, it was a natural choice for me to give this movie forward. It’s no use for me to watch it again over and over, it’s much better to give it away to someone who still hasn’t seen the movie.
What do you need to do?
Yeah, there is a catch. In order to be eligible for the draw you need to write a comment to this post. Make sure to include your e-mail address (it won’t be visible on this page and I won’t use it for any other purpose than this giveaway) so that I know how to get in touch with you in case you are the lucky winner. In your comment, answer one or more of the following questions:
What are you doing to prevent the climate crisis in your programming (or other) work? Is there something you think you could do more? Do you think your employee is doing enough to fight the climate change? Why, why not?
You can be as verbose or non-verbose as you like. More verbose will of course create more discussion, but in order to apply for the giveaway you don’t need to write a lengthy message.
How is the winner chosen?
The winner is chosen using randomly from all commenters to this blog post. Any comment entered before the draw will be eligible. The draw is done on Wednesday 18th of July (a week from today), and the result will be posted on next week’s Green Programmer blog post along with some of the most interesting and useful advice from your comments. I’ll also contact the lucky winner through e-mail to ask for his/her mailing address.
Watch the movie, let your friends see it and share your information. It’s still not too late to start working on saving the planet for our kids.

But what happens if its international/overseas comment?

Good point, I forgot to mention that the DVD is the European version so to watch it you’ll need to use the region code 2 on your DVD player, or a region code free DVD player.
I wish there was a way to change the legislation so that we could get rid of those region codes for good… They mean nothing but harm in this ever globalizing society we’re living in.
Language isn’t a problem as the DVD is spoken in English. In addition to that the DVD has subtitles in the following languages: German, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Dutch and Turkish.
Anyway, no matter where the person winning the DVD lives, I’ll send it to him/her so that he can decide what to do with it himself…

We just watched a documentary on the same subject and we have been thinking about this same question too. But to answer the question, we turn off every electrical device if we don’t use it. It’s important to turn off all the electricity from the device, not just put it on stand by. We are not very good in recycling, so that is one thing we could do more.

Hi Lauri and Veera :)
Was it the movie from YLE Teema called something like “The truth about climate change” that you saw?
Turning off electrical devices is a pretty good start, but yeah you should become good at recycling - it’s really important you know ;)
I found the following link yesterday. It has some good tips on what we can do to become part of the solution:

And BTW, you are the winner of this giveaway, so if you don’t have seen the movie yet, I’ll send it to you :)
