The Solution is Simple

I thought this was quite amusing when I saw it (even thoug it is sponsored). The site is quite interesting too - you need flash. I don't think it would win any marks for accessibility but it's fun and gets the point across(if you have flash).

Lights Out London - June 21st

Lights Out LondonIf I still lived in London I would be taking part in this. Although London looks amazing a night with all the lights on it would be great to see it for once with them all off. It would interesting to see how much money those big office buildings save on their leccy bills by turning all their lights off for one night. ...

The Nag

The Nag The folks at anti-apathy have a new campaign called 'The Nag'. You sign up and then it emails you every month with one thing you can do to make your life more sustainable. Seemed a bit London centric asking for 'borough' when you sign up apart from that it makes the subject quite entertaining. It's free and it's easy!

Local Cooling

Not sure how much this is set up to promote uniblue but if makes people more aware of the issue it seems OK. I have installed this at work - probably won't save much as I am using the machine here pretty much all the time and I turn it off when I go home. I am going to install it at home to. I think it ...

There is also a competition where you can win a years supply of electricity by taking a picture of you or your family at a wind farm. I'm sure ideally most people ...

A Good Life

A Good Life Bought this book over the weekend. It’s pretty interesting. Apparently the average woman ingests 1kg of lipstick over the course of her life. This book covers virtually everything to do with leading a ‘good life’ – apart from perhaps religion – I don’t think it misses much there though! It does’nt say anything is righ or wrong just tries to give you ...

CO2: This time it’s personal

CO2: This time it’s personal – interesting idea – I think making people face up to the problem would be good. Tax is not usually very popular – whereas this idea is pretty free – if you want to go on holiday you would need to save up your carbon allowance it doesn’t stop you going on holiday. Thinking about it I can see that airlines might not ...

I Vant to Drink Your Vatts - New York Times

I Vant to Drink Your Vatts – New York Times – A different perspective on leaving things on standby. I have to admit I have only been converted to switching things off properly recently. I do a leave my server on though – this is very small and doesn’t use as much power as a bigger computer. But everything else TV, set-top boxes all switched off at the ...
