Staying cool and green this summer |
|
| I heard a statistic quoted last week that said that sales of home air conditioning units are up 16% year-on-year, a worrying part of the vicious circle of global warming.

Let there be (low-energy) light! |
|
| After over three years of saying we're going to do it, we finally got around to putting low-energy lightbulbs into our light fittings at the weekend.

My carbon footprint? Size 11 I think... |
|
| Having heard and read a lot about carbon footprints recently, I'd long since been meaning to get around to working out my own. So, with the rest of the family settled happily in front of the Easter M... Posted by Big Green Switch on Thu, 31 May 2007 01:36:00 PST |

Sorry, and you are...? |
|
| Reflecting on my first blog post, I feel I should perhaps have made something more of a proper introduction rather than having just rudely started talking at you as I did!

Time to pull my green finger out |
|
| 2007 seems to have been awash so far with TV programmes, news stories and internet features about climate change and global warming - each emphasising, more strongly than ever before, the likely cons... Posted by Big Green Switch on Thu, 31 May 2007 01:33:00 PST |
