Carbon trading explained through biscuits.
Check out our map of Britain's biggest carbon emitters.
I presented sandbag to the geekyoto conference today. The first public outing of the idea. Nerves aside it was an excellent day with a very diverse range of speakers and topics. Things that stuck in my mind were: someone (who's name I sadly didn't note, but whose presentation along with all the others will soon appear on the geekyoto website) installed a swing in my local bus stop, to explore ideas around how we can modify our environment to better meet our needs, sadly it's no longer there - such a shame....

Last week the Australian government published a white paper on the implementation of a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme ... an emissions trading scheme in all but name.
In true Crocodile Dundee fashion the Rudd government has declared to the EU: "That's not an ineffective emissions trading scheme; this is an ineffective emissions trading scheme!".
