One example of "active" safety technology includes the Volvo CoDriver Alert' system, now in its final phase of development. This system studies the traffic situation, "senses" when the driver is suffering stress or tiredness, and, if necessary, can take over control of the car if the driver is not responding quick enough to impending obstacles and danger. Volvo Vision 2020 is a framework for the company's aim to maintain leadership in the field of safety and the environment. At the same time, Volvo must continue to make cars that appeal to people's emotions.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/291/volvo_hybrid_trucks_and_buses.htmlVolvo has developed environmentally-friendly hybrid technology which uses electric power and a diesel engine to power its vehicles.

In his role, Pitt has traveled abroad, and has used his star power to attract media attention to the One Campaign, including a 2005 interview in Africa with ABC's Diane Sawyer.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/641/stroke_awareness_-_bull's_eye.htmlStroke is the third leading cause of death in America. Someone suffers a stroke every 45 seconds and there are 700,000 new or recurrent strokes annually. Stroke is also a leading cause of severe, long-term disability as it can cause paralysis, vision problems, memory loss and speech/language problems. Tragically, the groups with the highest risk and incidence of stroke (elderly, African-Americans and men) are also the least knowledgeable about warning signs and risk factors. Though strokes are commonly thought to only happen to older people, the truth is that a stroke can strike people of all ages. The campaign, which began in April 2003, aims to arm the public with the knowledge that a fast reaction to stroke symptoms is critical in potentially lessening the devastating results of a stroke.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/205/aarp_chronic_fatigue_syndrome_facts.htmlContrary to prior opinion, the U.S. government has identified chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as a legitimate disease that affects 1 million Americans. Since an estimated 80 percent of Americans afflicted with CFS are unaware they have it, representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they have launched an awareness campaign educating people as to CFS' symptoms. Everyone knows what it's like to be tired, but those suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are more than just tired all of the time. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome leaves its victims exhausted to the point that even a short walk around the block will send them to bed too worn out to even do what it takes to live a normal life--and yet they used to run several miles a day. The big problem is that this exhaustion goes on and on, day in and day out for months or even years.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/146/mountain_lion_foundation_-_psa_2.htmlFounded in 1986, the Mountain Lion Foundation is a conservation and education organization dedicated to protecting the mountain lion and their wild habitat to ensure that our wildlife heritage endures for future generations. The Foundation is dedicated to the proposition that much can be done to preserve the cougar as a viable species (via habitat conservation, research, livestock protection, management, and education) and that the success of this effort can assure the survival of other species. They advocate on behalf of the mountain lion in the media, the courts, legislative bodies, wildlife agencies and communities.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/283/unicef_lebanon_unexploded_ordnance.htmlUnexploded ordnance and booby-trapped buildings are hindering an already highly restricted relief effort trying to provide vital food and water and evacuate the injured from the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon. Up to 8,000 people remain caught in a deadly stand-off there between the military and Islamist militants. UNICEF and its partners have made educating and protecting Lebanese children from unexploded munitions a top priority. The U.N. estimates that there are an estimated 1 million unexploded munitions, including cluster bombs, littered throughout southern Lebanon ' left there by the war that ended six moths ago. Since August, exploding ordinance has killed or injured more than 200 people.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/419/whale_tagging.htmlWith financial support from Greenpeace, humpback whales have been tagged by the Cook Islands Whale Research and Opération Cétacés. The satellite tagging, skin biopsies and photo identification has already provided a huge amount of information about the migration patterns of threatened humpback populations. The "scientific whaling" carried out by the Japanese government does not address the most important needs identified by the International Whaling Commission, and can not be seen as justifiable. This year their quote includes 50 humpback whales.Karmavisionhttp://www.karmavision.tv/video/441/faces_of_influenza_-_psa_2.htmlThe American Lung Association has launched a new television and radio public service announcement (PSA) campaign to stress the importance of annual influenza vaccination and highlight people who should be immunized annually for influenza.Karmavision
