Cool It

The government has produced a booklet entitled "Global Warming - Cool It". Packed with information and tips, it is available for free. You can view it online or the good people at Cool the Globe can post one out to you.

Of course, if you're like me, you may be surprised that the current government is doing ANYTHING about global warming. And the booklet may well be just a method of distracting us from noticing they've done next to nothing to actually address the problem.

But if you're more optimistic than me, perhaps you might say that now that the pretty booklet-printing is done, they can get on with the serious stuff of actually making some gutsy decisions. Let's hope so.

Having got all that off my chest, the booklet IS a good one. And until we do switch over to renewable energy sources, the best we can do is to reduce the carbon dioxide we produce.
