Happiness - and how to achieve it

The Ecologist(FEB) features Happiness - and how to achieve it, by Bill McKibben.

The fossil fuel age changed every detail of western human life - where we lived, how we travelled (and how much), what we ate, how our economies worked. But there were two changes in particular that it wrought - huge changes. Changes so huge they redefine the meaning of huge. One is physical - the sudden onset of a rapid warming that will change the very geography of the planet in almost unbelievable fashion over the next century. We live on a different earth already, and it is going to get worse fast. Way worse. The other psychological - cheap fossil fuel tipped the balance in the modern mind between self as individual and self as member of community. It made us different people. Worse people.

Ferrari F1 tie with world's costliest ad

Brand Republic LONDON - Shell is to seal off the City of London and turn it into a mini Grand Prix-style racing circuit, as part of the filming of an ad highlighting its partnership with the Ferrari Formula One team.

The TV execution, whose production cost £2m, making it the most expensive ad ever, will promote Shell's high-performance V-Power fuel. It is intended to support Shell's positioning as the most innovative fuel brand. The ad will feature Ferrari F1 cars racing through some of the world's most famous cities, including New York and Sydney.

The London leg of the ad, being created by JWT London, will be shot on 17 February, with the execution set to air globally in March.

Ferrari F1 test-drivers will be used to race the cars in all the cities except for the final straight in Sydney. A Ferrari enthusiast and owner of one of the marque's recent F1 cars will drive the final leg.

The Ferrari activity follows last June's "Made to move" campaign. The multimillion-pound global campaign was the first advertising to be run by Shell since the launch of Optimax in 2001.

The most expensive ad to date is widely acknowledged to be British Airways' "face" ad from 1989.
