Electric vehicle (EV) is a car that runs on electricity without any gas, aimed to reduce greenhouse-gas emission while promoting reusable energy other than the diminishing gasoline. Since EV is still considered as a new technology to the general public, many studies are conducted to examine the existing barriers and consumer behaviors to EV. Some literatures suggest the lacking infrastructures is the number one concerns for consumers, and this study is aim to find out what are EV owners mostly concerned about, and how are they being segmented. The data suggests the biggest concern for existing EV owners is the battery life expectancy, and the current owners are technology loving with an interest in real life socializing.
At the OECD PPP conference in Paris October 2014, Dr Andy Hall presented on how Australia's Food Systems Innovation project is helping to facilitate innovation at the interface of public and private sectors across a range of agri-food interventions that help frame more broad based partnerships

The roots of ecolabelling are found in the growing global concern for environmental protection on the part of governments, businesses and the public. As businesses have come to recognize that environmental concerns may be translated into a market advantage for certain products and services, various environmental declarations, claims and labels have emerged, such as natural, recyclable, eco-friendly, low energy, recycled content, etc.
Governmental, industry, NGO, investor and consumer efforts and awareness will serve as 5 key driving forces of sustainability in the months and years ahead.
