Someone was surely trying to create an “all environmentalists are insane” story when they announced this morning that the UK Government was trying to get us all to switch from fresh to UHT milk. Had this story been true (apparently it isn’t) the outrage would’ve sent greens throughout the UK scurrying into holes, thus ruining Blog Action Day.

Personally, most of my activity in this field is about helping people to do the green thing. Sign-ups for the project are going really well, and it’s exciting to see something I’ve been involved with for almost a year come to such a successful fruition.

Thanks to Slasheco for reminding me (via Facebook, how web 2.0 of us) about blog action day… None of my reminder emails having arrived.

Do the green thing! The project that I’ve been helping a little bit, to launch a creative, fun environmental website called http://www.dothegreenthing.com, went live on Thursday. The content and idea are really lovely, and it’s bound to generate lots of interest and action.

Well done Andy and Naresh, and everyone else who’s been working so hard on it. Now it’s up to the rest of us to use the site and take the suggested actions.
