Playing Catch-Up - 04 Sep 07
I can’t believe how long its been since I last posted anything. A few days turned into a week and before I knew it, over a fortnight had passed. I find that if I don’t post regularly, I get out of the habit of doing it and soon forget all those great ideas I had for posts.
Discovery Buys Treehugger - 02 Aug 07
If, like I did, you start poking about the internet for information on green issues and environmental news, sooner or later (but probably sooner) you’re going to stumble across Treehugger. Between their news, green guides and forum, there probably isn’t much information that you can’t find there and I’ve been a regular visitor (and subscriber) since I first discovered the site.
Green Google - 21 Jun 07
If you weren’t already convinced that ‘Green is the New Black’, then check out the actions of Google who, following a similar announcement from Yahoo, have declared their intentions to go carbon neutral. Google, though have a bit of a head start, having started work a massive photovoltaic solar panel system last October. In typical Google fashion, you can now access live(ish) statistics for the solar panels online.
Live Earth Badge - 19 Jun 07
I’ve added the badge for Live Earth to this site (see right column). I’m not going to any of the concerts (the nearest is in London), but I probably will watch some of them on TV.
Act On CO2 - 16 Jun 07
Chances are, if you live in the UK, you’ve seen the government sponsored Act On CO2 TV adverts, featuring little engines on wheels, driving around like cars. The purpose of the campaign is to provide advice on how to reduce the emissions from your car journeys through ‘smarter driving’ and making a more informed decision when buying a new car.
Yahoo! Green - 14 May 07
Just days after noting that Yahoo! was promoting Freecycle through its Mail service, comes the news that Yahoo has now launched its own Yahoo Green mini-site.
Carnival of the Green - 12 May 07
I have to admit that until a few days ago, when it popped up on the Times Online blog ‘Eco Worrier’, I’d never heard of the Carnival of the Green. Its a fairly simple idea though and one which appears to have worked well over the last couple of years.
Yahoo Mail Plugs Freecycle - 11 May 07
I did a double-take on spotting the above advert in my Yahoo Mail this morning. Freecycle, a recycling network, is run through Yahoo Groups, an advert supported service, so its not like Yahoo don’t have an interest in increasing the numbers of people signing up to the groups. However, its still great publicity for Freecycle.
TreeHugger Gets a Forum - 09 May 07
Popular environmental website TreeHugger has recently increased its range of features with the addition of a forum for the discussion of all things green and not-so green.
Increase in Site Traffic - 24 Apr 07
Over the last couple of days, the number of visitors to this site has really shot up. Could it be that everyone is interested in cheap compost bins? Well its possible, but I think its more likely to be the fact that the Mad Eejits site received an Editor’s Pick Award on W3C Sites and was then featured on MostInspired.com.
