A building that produces more energy than it uses. Built in 2000 shows that the technology has been around for years. Shows it is possible to live a carbon-negative life! - ChrisDudman

Simple, courageous idea and application of a town taking control over its own food production. - ChrisDudman

Is this going to make up for the damage done by Argentinian cattle farmers producing cheep beef? - ChrisDudman

On the face of it biofuels seem like a good idea, but ultimately they just replace one inefficient method of turning chemical energy into mechanical energy. - ChrisDudman

Great collection of symbols (and links) to videos that explain many scientific concepts. See how many you can guess or know before hovering over the symbol. - ChrisDudman

Food for thought for all those ignorant of the actual science. - ChrisDudman

Gas guzzling cars leave me cold, but even the ugliest electric vehicles give me hope for a cleaner and more efficient future. - ChrisDudman

Great video explaining the importance of checking information and developing understanding before making an opinion about climate change data... and anything else. Stick with the video. It takes almost Five minutes to explain its point; something that those crying conspiracy have not bothered to do. They just took quotes out of context without checking what the author meant by 'trick' and 'hide'! - ChrisDudman

Beautifully clear explanation of the importance and real impact of reforestation. - ChrisDudman

Really exciting set of videos about reforestation. How to heal the world... and save mankind! - ChrisDudman

See how some of the money raised for Comic Relief is being used to provide anti-maleria nets to people in Uganda. - ChrisDudman

Follow the fun of converting the fastest production car chassis to electric power: "Racing Green Endurance (RGE), as part of the wider Imperial Racing Green initiative, is a flagship project of Imperial College London, and comprises of 11 highly motivated members of the staff and student body. With the growing severity of global warming being further augmented by CO2 emissions from today's cars, we strive to champion the use of electric vehicles (EVs) by proving their reliability and outstanding performance... We want to engage the public and demonstrate the exciting potential of EV technology by passing through some of nature's most spectacular landscapes. From the Atacama Desert in Chile and the tropical rainforests of Colombia, to the Great Plains of the USA and the Arctic tundra of Alaska's far north, the Pan American Highway represents the Ultimate test of endurance for any car!" - ChrisDudman

Inspiring video. I wonder what this will lead to? Just like the moon-shot nobody really knew. The team is going to share all its engineering: "The Bloodhound SSC team hopes the project will be an inspiration for children thinking of a career in engineering or science. Thousands of schools, colleges and universities are already using the educational resources provided by the Bloodhound team." - ChrisDudman

The chances of McDonnalds developing any environmental consciousness is pretty minimal. They would have to change their business completely. From the polystyrene packaging to sourcing Argentinean beef from slash-and-burn Rain Forest ranchers. I won't be holding my breath for it!! - ChrisDudman

I live in the UK so I may not be entitled to an opinion, but am grateful for a National Health Service and many other rights I have. Isn't the government supposed to goven and have a duty of care to its citizens? I wonder if all the fear and backlash against 'socilism' is inherited bullshit from the comunist witchhunts of the 1950's? - ChrisDudman

People fought and died for the right to a free trial. Stop the madness of proposing to ban people from the internet without due process! - ChrisDudman

If you think the legal system is in a bit of a mess just imagine what it was like before. The BBC min-series put all those hours of watching legal drams into sharp relief. - ChrisDudman

Welcome addition to the choice of Gas suppliers. Love the idea that profits will be going good. - ChrisDudman

Selection of auction items in aid of "Children in Need" - ChrisDudman

All about e-waste: the environmental and human impact of chucking electronic products away. - ChrisDudman

All about the World Community Grid Phase 1 "The Clean Energy Project" that finished on October 13, 2009. Phase 2 is expected to be deployed between December, 2009 and February, 2010.Join to share your unused computing cycles to help projects like: AfricanClimate@Home, Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together, FightAIDS@Home, Help Conquer (Childhood) Cancer, Human Proteome Folding 2, Nutritious Rice for the World. Visit http://www.WoldCommunityGrid.org to learn more. - ChrisDudman

Collection of amazing gymnastics tricks. - ChrisDudman

Help support the 779 homeless young people who will be with Centrepoint over Christmas. - ChrisDudman

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
