Au revoir from GGG!

Posted on 31 January 2010

So this is the last post from Green Guys Global for now. We are taking an indefinite break from our blogging here to work on all the other things that busy green guys & girls do.
Here’s a great big thank you to all of the editors for their brilliant writing over the past few years [...]

Imagine there’s no hunger, the green end to it all.

Posted on 29 January 2010

In March 2010, global scientists and engineers will convene in California, to talk about trials of radical ideas, such as putting mirrors in space to divert the sun’s rays to fertilising the ocean with iron to kick start carbon sucking ecosystems. They will do this because despite what some people still think, the planet [...]

Do developing countries have too many children?

Posted on 07 January 2010

“People in Africa have too many children” an argument I frequently hear when talking about population.  Despite my strong disagreement with this statement, many people bring it up in one form or another when talking about climate change and population issues.
The fact of the matter is, they do not have too many children when taken [...]

Recycling – reward or penalise?

Posted on 04 December 2009

We would dearly love more people to heed the environmental message and through a mixture of altruism and education, recycle their waste but we reluctantly accept that there are many people who simply aren’t interested. For example, our own neighbourhood consists of households who recycle nearly everything, bottles, paper, plastic, compost, etc.. in different bins [...]

M&S no longer return my emails. I guess their patience with this one particular activist wore thin. Did I stump them with my [...]

EF Cars – Tread lightly when you travel our planet

Posted on 16 October 2009

Every now and again you find a company that makes you want it to be successful. EF Cars – a taxi company near Southampton, UK, is one such company. To call it a taxi company however would do it injustice, as this is the first taxi company I’ve found that is dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality.

Marks and Spencer Eco Hypocrisy

Posted on 25 August 2009

M and S customers stuffing their Hessian eco-bags with packaging (far less green than plastic carrier bags), in the self righteous, I am better than thou way, that M and S customers tend to have.

Population growth and climate change

Posted on 21 August 2009

Reading through the various reports on climate change and environmental damage it can sometimes seem as though the problems we face are insurmountable. That, despite the hard work of environmental campaigners and those concerned with fair trade and green issues, we are merely forestalling inevitable environmental collapse.
As the overdue realisation dawns on governments around the [...]
