The way nature somehow has its own calendar never ceases to amaze and impress. Examples such as the mass spawning of turtles, bats and crabs in various locations are simply breathtaking. Having seen all sorts of wild life, such as squirrels and hedgehogs, not hibernating it’s already clear that

A little heads-up for any readers out there that fancy getting expanding their knowledge on China and climate change: there’s an event out there just for you. It’s called, funnily enough, China and Climate Change, and it’s on in central London on Tuesday 8th July. The event

Like some members of the Australian cricket team, the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (let’s call them UNIDO for short) has been up to some interesting stuff in India. In a flurry of glitter cannons and bikini’d lovelies holding an oversized cheque (oh, alright, probably in a meeting

Are you familiar with the term cognitive dissonance? It’s a ponced up equivalent of saying ‘feeling a bit weird when you realise you should be thinking something other than what you’re thinking’. Like when a politicians realises he actually is a machine for vomiting half-truths and bendy promises

The last time that Greenbang wrote a letter to an authority figure, she was eight, and the figure was Jim of Jim’ll Fix It. She never got a response and to this day, she’s never had lunch with a unicorn and the members of Bros. Still, she hopes

Having been to Las Vegas, Greenbang can testify that using less energy typically means taking one of those weird golf buggy things rather than their own legs to travel the 500 metres from the restaurant to the roulette wheel or seeing how long you can lie motionless beside the pool,

Biomass power generators always remind Greenbang of Back to the Future II. Remember the Mr Fusion Home Energy Reactor that the Doc fits to the De Lorean while visiting 2015 that converts organic home waste into electrical power? What a crazy idea, eh? Well it’s not such a crazy

Greenbang’s knowledge of Christian theology may be a little sketchy, but she’s pretty sure that when Moses clambered up Mt. Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments, God neglected to mention to him the sin of being a bad earthly tenant. To Greenbang’s relief though, God’s current

Wow. You know corporate attitudes have shifted when the big businesses like water companies admit that climate change may have messed with their supplies a bit. It’s like your parents admitting to still having sex: you knew the risk was there, but you never thought they’d actually say
