Great to see people pushing the envelope on Solar Power: "Instead of roof-sized panels, small collectors could be used on the roof, with the real machinery of solar power generation tucked away, for example, between a home's walls." - ChrisDudman

I can see a consultancy business in all this inspiring way of living... which may be missing the point: "What have I learned? That friendship, not money, is real security. That most western poverty is of the spiritual kind. That independence is really interdependence. And that if you don't own a plasma screen TV, people think you're an extremist." - ChrisDudman

This range would keep me going for over a week of local commuting. If I was travelling more and needed to recharge more than once a day I'd find myself a job nearer to home! - ChrisDudman

It feels really good to be contributing to making the world a better place. Unless you are doing some heavy number crunching then you have plenty of computing cycles to spare. I give away up to 60% on my 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo powered Aluminium iMac and it takes no more than 30 Watts of electricity; and has little impact on the work I do. If any delay is incurred then I just go have a nice cup of tea. "Donate the power of your computer when it is turned on, but is idle, to projects that benefit humanity! We provide the secure software and system that does it all for free, and you become part of a community that is helping to change the world. Once you install the software, you will be participating in World Community Grid." - ChrisDudman

At last a popup worth reading: Great Ten ways to provide safe drinking water. - ChrisDudman

Shocking true analysis of the drugs industry... the clue is in the name. Drugs are their product... health is not really their focus; though I am sure that at the heart of it there are doctors that take their oath seriously, but many have become soulless organisations. - ChrisDudman

Excellent that a building is delivering on being carbon-neutral. "We should save energy, but it does not have to be at the expense of good architecture and indoor climate - what we need are buildings in balance" Now that it has show to be doable... aim for the carbon-negative... life. :) - ChrisDudman

Great to see people mobilising for a better future. This is the kind of thing that the policy-makers of yesterday needed to have done to have real power and influence now. I am confident they can overcome the shit they are likely to inherit. - ChrisDudman

This seems like a bit of a pathetic list of 'wow' features of any product... Akin to raving about the shiny hubcaps on the van that is horrible to drive? - ChrisDudman

Another reason to hate reporters and critics! I don't know who this 'jan-smark-face' slime-ball is; and care even less... with an attitude like that. - ChrisDudman

Don't just send or raise money - buy the orphanage instead... Inspired solution :) - ChrisDudman

Wow... It's not just that humans went, but there is still stuff on the Moon! Send the doubters on a one-way trip to see for themselves. - ChrisDudman

Sign-up to pledge to reduce your personal carbon emissions by 10% in 2010... Get started now! - ChrisDudman

Great case of what someone can do with just a bit of knowledge. Imagine if the richer countries gave access to their technology away freely... - ChrisDudman

I bet Mark was regretting wearing green that day ... watch the whole program and see the passion and good that comes from helping wildlife out. - ChrisDudman

Great to see the commercial applications of this technology being though about. - ChrisDudman

We don't need to import cow urine pellets, just collect our own pee... yippee! :) - ChrisDudman

Sounds like a really good place to learn about Electric cars - I look forward to being educated. :) - ChrisDudman

Petition the Prime Minister to Change the rules regarding Ramp Ceremonies for HM Forces Personnel killed by an act of terror. "British troops have spoken of their anger following the disclosure that the bodies of the two soldiers murdered by dissident republicans were shipped back to the UK as freight." - ChrisDudman

A great example of the mad and inefficient way governments work: Taking money from a charity that provides a service that saves the government loads of money. Give the RNLI access to airwaves for FREE and save the huge admin! - ChrisDudman

A place to find a petition for almost anybody to sign-up to. Take your pick. Sign-up for all that you believe in. Create your own. Be heard!! - ChrisDudman

A potential way to get stuff into space. Much more efficient than rockets. - ChrisDudman

Elegant and functional bit of design. - ChrisDudman

Just Seven, and the crimes against humanity and the plant just get worse and worse. - ChrisDudman

One step closer to acceptance of the obvious fact that all earthlings and systems are inter-connected and inter-dependant: "Lovelock and other supporters of the idea now regard it as a scientific theory, not merely a hypothesis, since they believe it has passed predictive tests." - ChrisDudman

Art that needs minimal explanation is my kind of art! - ChrisDudman

Someone in a bank with a sense of humour? From the comments on the site and StumbleUpon it may be wise to ask if the customer has a sense of humour. If they are lacking then revert to the Queen's English. The option of Klingon would probably upset fewer people? - ChrisDudman

Not sure if the energy sums add up. Trash to cash and reducing the amount that goes to landfill seem to be missing the point of waste reduction and lessening environmental impact? ... But as Oscar Wilde would say they can see "the price of everything, and the value of nothing". - ChrisDudman

This is one big ship! - ChrisDudman

We need to send people with this message to educate the children, and beyond, in countries like Afghanistan. Maybe the peace will last and the cost will have been worth it? - ChrisDudman
