Bright Green conference

Over the weekend the Bright Green conference took place in Copenhagen. Organized by the Confederation of Danish Industry, the exhibition "gathered 165 of the brightest and greenest companies to demonstrate that taking care of our climate also leads to the creation of jobs and new business areas. And that many of the needed solutions are available today." Vestas Windmills, next to a soon-to-be released Peugot electric car, near to the Brazilian Sugarcane Industry Association interactive video depicting their effectiveness in challenging an oil-based car industry in Brazil, across from Shanghai Grandway Limited booth boasting eco-friendly oil field equipment, below the segway test track. Anyone say green washing?! The conference was opened with speaches from Denmark's Prime Minister, US secretary of Commerce, IPCC chairman, and the crowned-prince of Denmark and Norway and the crowned-princess of Sweden. Check the video below to hear about Sweden's crowned-princess and the blunder made by the MC when referring to the Prince of Norway:
