Quick bit of news
Just thought I’d mention another project I’m working on now: I’m blogging for G Magazine! Each month G Magazine has an eco-challenge for all their readers: things like not using takeaway coffee cups or bottled water. They’ve asked me to write about how I’m going with the challenge a couple of times a week.
I’ll still be posting here twice a week, but if you want to join in the G Challenge, please come on over to the newly re-designed G Magazine website and look me up! There’s other blogs there too, about science, home and garden, travel, etc, all with an environmentally-friendly perspective. Their new site also has news and longer feature articles, and looks pretty spiffy!
Meanwhile, in more national news, PM Rudd has gone on the record saying that reaching 450ppm of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is necessary to stabilise our climate. This brings him in line with many environmental groups (I’d still like to see 350ppm though!). It’s particularly good since Garnaut seems to think that only 550ppm is politically achievable. Rudd knows that 450ppm is necessary, and is on the record about it - that gives us something to hold him to when the details of his ETS come out.
