Environmentally sustainable energy saving product guide
I once had the idea of doing an energy database, showing the actual energy usage and cost of household appliances, like 99.9% of all my cunning plans this one drowned in a well of good intentions. Luckily some people with better organisations skills and more common sense have now done it.

Climate Change Denial
Climate Change Denial
Its great to find a good, combative, informend blog on climate change. Goerge Marshall's here is one of the best, and UK orientated to boot. Came across this whiel reviewing Chris Goodall's How to live a Low Carbon Life see http://www.naturalchoices.co.uk/How-to-live-a-low-carbon-life-by?id_mot=2&var_mode=calcul
Its a really interesting book- Chris Goodall is a businessman, Harvard MBA, a former director of Which? and sits on various government bodies. Hios approach is that govts and companies won't do anything alone- and the weight for cutting CO2 emissions falls on the individuals. Only then will Govts and Corps act. A little too post Thatchertite for a Gramscist like me, where is civil society in all of this?- without the depth of organisations, clubs, pressure groups and all operating at a grass roots as a well as a national level then the all the advances that the Green movement has made in the last three years will fade into nothing once the media moves onto new subjects. And mark my words the media will move on, there is nothing so fickle as media tastes. Journalists dislike doing the same thing day in day out, they will move on, writing how crucial the debate is today and how irrelevant the next day.
