3 simple changes to get fit and green at the same time – I’m posting this to remind myself not to let winter weather put me off public transport and eating more vegetarian meals!

Powershift flash mob dance – hundreds of activists swarmed the steps of the Sydney Opera House to dance and send a message about how much we want renewable energy in this country.
