Reggie Watts And Greenpeace Want You To #ClickClean

WATCH: Reggie Watts Yodels For A Greener Internet
|

A new series of Greenpeace videos featuring comedian Reggie Watts wants you to help encourage Internet companies to switch to renewable energy.

“Get those photovoltaics on that roof. Collectively we can power the internet. That is the future of what should have already been!” Watts raps in one video.

The videos support the #ClickClean campaign, which advocates “a greener online for a greener offline.” This series is more playful and downright funny than some of Greenpeace’s other videos, like the recent parody of a song from "The Lego Movie" which depicts a Lego arctic wonderland being tragically flooded with oil.

“We took a more lighthearted approach with this series because our campaign is about loving the Internet, and one of the things we love about the Internet is the presence of people like Reggie Watts,” Greenpeace’s Molly Dorozenski told The Huffington Post. Greenpeace hopes that Watts will be able to reach a diverse Internet crowd, including artists, musicians and innovators, she said.

Apple, Facebook and Google are highlighted by Greenpeace for their commitment to renewable energy while Amazon and Twitter are among those who lag behind, with more than half of their electricity reportedly coming from fossil fuels.

Why target Internet companies? “The Internet would rank sixth among countries for its electricity demand,” Dorozenski told HuffPost, adding, “Tech companies are the innovators -- they have the ability to embrace new ideas and make progress ahead of the curve, and we've seen the sector make big changes already."

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - JULY 23: Scientists from the University of the Philippines-Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI) along with Greenpeace activists conduct water sampling on Manila Bay July 23, 2013 in Manila, Philippines. Domestic sewage, toxic industrial waste, leachate from garbage dumps, and runoff from chemical agriculture, converge into what Greenpeace describe as a 'hideous cocktail' reducing Manila Bay into one giant waste dump. Overfishing is also prevalent in the bay with commercial fish cages and small fishers competing for dwindling fish and marine resources that scientists claim already contain high levels of heavy metals and toxic substances.

French gendarmes arrest Greenpeace campaigners at the Tricastin Areva's nuclear power plant in the French southeastern town of Pierrelatte, some 200 kilometres (120 miles) north of Marseille, southern France, after around two dozen activists of the environmental anti-nuclear group snuck into the site on July 15, 2013. Twelve of the activists were arrested more than two hours later, according to the EDF energy giant that runs the country's atomic power plants. Greenpeace members have staged several break-ins at French nuclear plants in recent years in an effort to highlight what they say are dangers of atomic power and to expose security problems at the power stations.

Gazprom is pioneering Russia's oil drilling in the Arctic. The state-owned company installed the platform there last year and is preparing to drill the first well. Environmentalists have warned that drilling in the Russian Arctic could have disastrous consequences because of a lack of technology to deal with a possible spill in this remote region.
