1. See An Inconvenient Truth. - 28 Sep 2006

   This was an amazing film which I have been recomending to all my friends, It definatley prompted me to get of my backside and find out more about what i can do, and then do some of it!! Because I think if I didn’t I may have felt extremely hopeless after seeing it, but at the end it does give some ideas of how we can do something. Did make me wonder what it would have been like if he had been president?!

6. Offset your Airmiles - 28 Sep 2006

   I have recently visited carbonneutral.com run by the carbonNeutral Company. They dont only offer tree planting as a way to offset or neutralise the carbon from your flight they also have international community projects you can support such as a project in Jamaica which encourages the local hotels and communities to switch to energy efficient lighting, saving them money and cutting CO2 emissions. And in Bhutan the forestry planting project, not only helps to regenerate an environment that was devastated by fire and deforestation, it is part of larger scheme which provides jobs for the local community. I think this is pretty cool as it has a much wider effect as it is helping these communities too. It is easy to do as they have a calculator to work out how much carbon you are resposible for by your flight and then you essentially buy back your carbon (well ok not exactly) and this money goes to either plant trees, to community projects like the ones mentioned above or towards future renewable enery projects. I hope that its as good as it sounds otherwise I will cry if its not!!!
