Recently I have been taking a look at what I do to keep myself as eco-friendly as possible. This is a pretty difficult thing to do when you realise that what you do in the way of recycling and so on quickly pales into insignificance next to the huge amounts of waste produced as a [...]
Swedish politicians have been working to find out how the Russian army was allowed to dump radioactive waste into their waters in the early 90s, after it was uncovered that certain politicians may have known at the time and did nothing to stop it. The waste itself is believed to have come from a Latvian [...]
In light of last months Copenhagen emissions summit, governments around the world have renewed their promises to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Surprisingly, China is leading the cuts with a promise to reduce “emission intensity” (whatever that means) by at least 40% by 2020. The Eu plans to cut emmisions by just 20%, America just 17%. [...]
Authors of a report outlining the requirement for a rethink on the UK’s sea defenses plan. Having looked at the rising sea levels and increased likelyhood of flooding the authors of the report urged the government to act sooner rather than later.

Utah in America has changed it’s working hours to 8-6 o’clock [...]
Since it’s been snowing here in the UK for a couple of weeks now I thought a nice snow day post about a Global warming protest that was due to start in Utah. The poorly attended protest planned a “scream-in” to display their frustration at the failure to come to any sort of an agreement [...]
well its coming up to the new year in a few days and I think it could be time to start thinking about making 2010 a ‘green’ year and all about the environment. So what sort of things can I look to do ?? Easy wins are probably going to be continue recycling, looking at [...]
Not my own, but it is estimated that the rising climate within the UK could be about to cause havoc on the wildlife that currently popualtes vast areas of the country. The ever-changing climate is expected to see the unwelome introduction of species such as clawed toads from Africa. This added to the fact that [...]
Now having been recently diagnosed with exercise induced asthma, it leads me to think that the quality of air I grew up in may have been contributory. I was a healthy child, and very active in lots of sports including running and swimming. But I found myself struggling to recover my breath and it was [...]
