Ranger James sprung into action by becoming an Earth Rangers member. <\/p>\n<p>Now at age 11, James spends a lot of time outdoors enjoying nature, is a long-distance runner, and has taken a keen interest in electric vehicles. Attending the Electric Vehicle Conference was really important to him and while there he was able to speak to a few key individuals that helped set up the event. <em>\u201cI wanted to have a car company before I became an Earth Ranger. I went to a car show with my Dad when I was 6. My Dad showed me how electric vehicles are better cars so it came together with saving the earth,\u201d<\/em> says James. <em>\u201cI wanted to learn more about EV\u2019s and learn more about business\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46172\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/RangerJames304401picture2-e1505327765506.jpg\" alt=\"RangerJames(304401)picture2\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/RangerJames304401picture2-e1505327765506.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/RangerJames304401picture2-e1505327765506-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ranger James shared the following message with conference attendees: <em>\u201cThank you for being plugged in, and don\u2019t unplug yourself,\u201d<\/em> He also thanked companies at the event for  <em>\u201cdoing what you do for the environment!\u201d<\/em> Ranger James is always sure to tell green businesses that they are Earth Rangers too. While attending the event, Ranger James had the opportunity to interview some really interesting people from  various companies including Havelaar, Ford, Aviva insurance (who sponsored the Plug n Drive), and Electric Vehicle Society.  He also met the President of Electric Mobility Canada as well as many members from the EMC board! <\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s next for Ranger James? <em>\u201cI want to meet Elon Musk.
