			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1455" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 530px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1455" title="Donkey and Wolves" src="http://www.yanngraf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/donkey-a-wolves.jpg" alt="Creative Commons Flick user charlesfred" width="520" height="347" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Creative Commons Flick user charlesfred</p></div>
<p>La question est simple, la réponse moins. Je m&#8217;explique: souvent lorsque l&#8217;on adhère à <strong>une philosophie « écolo »</strong> (ou autre d&#8217;ailleurs) on essaie d&#8217;agir au mieux afin de coller à cette idéologie. Puis en regardant autour de soi l&#8217;on s&#8217;aperçoit que beaucoup de monde ne suit pas le même fonctionnement que soi-même.<br />
Lorsque vous êtes absolument convaincu par vos idées, votre mode de vie, alors vous voulez le partager. Convaincre vos proches (voir le monde) du bien fondé de vos agissement. Vous voulez les évangéliser, les convertir.</p>
<p><span id="more-1454"></span><br />
Alors maintenant quelle est la meilleure façon d&#8217;agir? Quelle méthode va être le plus efficace? Comment rendre les gens plus « écolo ». Ci-dessous je propose deux alternatives, extrêmes, je vous l&#8217;accorde.</p>
<p><strong>La carotte</strong><br />
Vous donnez envie, vous montrez les belles réalisations, les initiatives positives. Vous imaginez de nouvelles solutions, vous décrivez un futur optimiste. La carotte est toujours devant l&#8217;âne, et lui donne l&#8217;envie d&#8217;avancer.</p>
<p><strong>Le bâton télescopique en nano tube de carbone</strong><br />
Vous donnez des coups, vous faites peur avec des chiffres effrayants. Vous montrez tous les échecs passés et dépeignez un futur sombre et incertain. Le bâton est toujours derrière les fesses de l&#8217;âne et lui coupe l&#8217;envie de s&#8217;arrêter.</p>
<h2>Mais, dans les 2 cas, l&#8217;âne avance.</h2>
<p>Souvent cette discussion revient sur le tapis parmi les éco-convaincus. Il est souvent difficile de faire changer les gens, de leurs faire comprendre qu&#8217;ils doivent modifier leur mode de vie. Alors quel est la meilleur façon de les convaincre: la carotte ou le bâton?</p>
<p>Personnellement, je me situe clairement du côté de la carotte &#8230; et on me traite de naïf. Souvent, l&#8217;on me fait remarquer que l&#8217;humain a malheureusement besoin d&#8217;un coup pour aller de l&#8217;avant. Que sans règles, sans obligations il ne change pas. Mais je considère la première option bien plus constructive. Aller de l&#8217;avant, regarder le verre comme à moitié plein et imaginer un futur rose (vert). Car je crois qu&#8217;elle fonctionne aussi bien, voir mieux que l&#8217;option de la contrainte.</p>
<p>Maintenant, vous avez surement <strong>votre avis</strong>. Il y a peut-être une option intermédiaire ou une combinaison des deux. Vous avez une expérience qui confirme l&#8217;une ou l&#8217;autre possibilité? Vous pensez que l&#8217;humain ne peut pas fonctionner à la carotte uniquement? J&#8217;aimerai vraiment vous entendre sur ce sujet. Alors <strong>exprimez-vous</strong> car les commentaires sont là pour ça.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Un petit post pour vous inciter à lire <a href="http://www.semiosiscommunications.com/blog/2009/06/29/barriers-to-sustainability-adoption/">cet article</a> publié par Peter Korchnak. En gros il dit:</p>

<li>La communication actuelle ne permet pas au consommateur de comprendre réellement l&#8217;impact qui a en achetant un produit vert.</li>
<li>La perception que derrière le caractère vert d&#8217;un produit se cache en fait son inefficacité.</li>
</ol>
<p>Il en déduit que le développement durable a juste un problème de marketing. Un peu simpliste comme conclusion. Mais ses idées sont très intéressantes.

<p>Nespresso just launched it&#8217;s new <a href="http://www.ecolaboration.com/" target="_blank">Ecolaboration website</a> where they tell us how green they are. Let&#8217;s have a closer look at the whole thing. The first time I saw the website, I wasn&#8217;t totally sure what to think? Were they  totally green-washing me, or were they actually quite good at preserving the environment?</p>

<blockquote><p>L&#8217;article en français est disponible<br />
<a href="http://economiemagazine.fr/entreprises/nespresso-ecolaboration-du-green-washing">sur le site de Economie Magazine</a></p></blockquote>
<h2>The Coffee and the Rainforest Alliance</h2>
<p>At the first glance, this looks like the really good point. But then you understand that for the moment only 50% of the coffee sold is certified by <a href="http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/news.cfm?id=nespresso_ecolaboration">the Rainforest Alliance</a>. Nespresso is hoping to reach 80% by 2013. It&#8217;s good but it&#8217;s not enough. And where is my 100% organic coffee? Why isn&#8217;t the production completely carbon neutral? Why isn&#8217;t the transport compensated with carbon reduction incentives?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-678" title="Nespresso capsules (ecolaboration)" src="http://www.yanngraf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/nespresso-capsules.jpg" alt="Nespresso capsules (ecolaboration)" width="520" height="312" /></p>
<h2>The Aluminium capsules</h2>
<p>Ecolaborations main argument is: We do use aluminum capsules and aluminum is easily recyclable. Ok, I&#8217;m fine with this. But let&#8217;s have a closer look at the numbers. Which amount of the capsules are actually recycled? In Switzerland <a href="http://www.ecolaboration.com/fileadmin/shared/_pdf/factsheets/07%20Making%20aluminium%20capsules%20sustainable.pdf" target="_blank">it is 60% (PDF)</a> . I couldn&#8217;t find the numbers for other countries, but it seems it is way less. Around 10% maybe, even less, if someone has the numbers, I&#8217;ll be glad to hear and post them.</p>
<p>Also this doesn&#8217;t involve the “professional capsule problem”. Because those ones, you <strong>can&#8217;t recycle them</strong>, they are made with an aluminum-plastic mix which doesn&#8217;t allow to separate the raw materials at a reasonable energetic price. So they all end up in the trash bin. Pretty bad&#8230;</p>
<p>Aluminium is cool, but I think organic fiber capsules would be better. You still could ship them in nice reusable aluminum boxes. Boxes you could fold and freely ship back, maybe even getting free capsules for your good action. Or at least, just giving an incentive by offering a free coffee for each 100gr of capsule brought back to a recycling point, would for sure help rising recycling percentage.</p>
<p>There other ways like refilling the capsules which are good but not really user-friendly: <a href="http://thetreehuggerblog.blogspot.com/2007/05/recycling-nespresso-coffee-capsules.html">Method N°1</a> or <a href="http://www.ecospresso.fr/?q=node/3">method N°2</a></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679" title="Nespresso Greener machines (ecolaboration)" src="http://www.yanngraf.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/nespresso-greener-machines.jpg" alt="Nespresso Greener machines (ecolaboration)" width="521" height="312" /></p>
<h2>Greener Machines</h2>
<p>“For a machine left on for 12 hours, the energy consumption to keep the machine ready to use is 140 watts per hour (Wh) per day, which is equivalent to 30kg CO2e per year. “ Nespresso</p>
<p>Basically, on the website, they tell you to turn of your machine after the last cup. Easy, isn&#8217;t it? They also say that for year 2013, their new machines which integrate <a href="http://www.ecolaboration.com/fileadmin/shared/_pdf/factsheets/08%20Designing%20greener%20machines.pdf">an auto-standby mode (PDF)</a>, which would turn it of after 30min.</p>
<p>Ok, it&#8217;s not cool to wait next to the machine to heat up. My tip is to turn on the machine, wait a minute, let water pass through for a couple of second and there you are, ready for a hot coffee. I&#8217;m sure there is a way to build in a quick start button.<br />
Or why not design a widget which would allow you to turn on the machine from you computer two minutes before you need it? Why not integrating a chip registering the energy consumption of your machine? If your energy consumption/coffee ratio is low, you get free capsules? The chip could also learn from your “coffee habits” automatically start at 6:58am for your morning coffee and then return to sleep.</p>
<p>Hum, and what is happening with my old machine? Nowhere the saying anything about recycling&#8230; there might be a reason why&#8230;.</p>
<h2>One coffee, 82g of Co2</h2>
<p>Nespresso estimates (still needs peer review&#8230;) that the total C02 emissions generated from its operations is 82 grams of CO2e per cup. This means for a 5 coffee/day consumption, a total of 150 Kg of C02 per year, which means 750km with a small car (<a href="http://www.myclimate.org">myclimate</a>).</p>
<h2>To much money for Marketing</h2>
<p>Nespesso always has a good communication, nice websites, awesome packaging, cool TV ads and of course, Georges. They invest a lot into marketing and they do a lot of money. Ecolaboration sound like a good start, but it&#8217;s to much words (&amp; images). But I think this is a well executed green-washing. They could do so much more to improve their environment friendliness.</p>
<p>And you? What do you think? Do you feel green-washed?</p>
