We really want to get support for the concept of carbon neutral sections - http://www.celsias.com/project/carbon-neutral-supermarket-sections/ This will hopefully start a market imperative and encourage organisations to measure, ...

There is too much animal flesh on this nice little planet using far too much energy for food, transport, habitats. Let's talk of re-engineering our sizes as individuals, cutting out red meat, fossil and nuclear power. We must all concentrate on smaller people living in the Sunbelt, all land outside ...

Apart from fashion goods, nothing in our society gets obsoleted faster than computers. Most computers don't die, they just get too bogged down by modern bloaty software to be as responsive as we'd like and this causes them to end up being dumped in favour of something a bit faster. ...

It's 10am, do you know where your electricity has been? Does your provider buy electricity from power plants using coal sourced from mountain top removal, MTR, operations.
