Clinton Global Initiative gets 107 commitments (and $2 billion) on first day

Impact on the environment from Bill Clinton yesterday. Featured at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), the numbers from the Initiative's first day: 107 commitments (worth over $2 billion) to positively affect the world from groups around the world. That's got to be worth something, right?

There is a
list of some of the groups who committed to take action up at the CGI website, and so far one specifically green car bit of news is from the Appleton Foundation which, in partnership with Hidary Foundation and SmartTransportation.org will "commit $1 million over three years to create a new national Canadian charitable program, GreenApple, to facilitate the conversion of taxis and other public transportation to hybrid and other low emission vehicles across Canada."  Via AutoblogGreen.
