It’s the UK’s National Science Week (9-16 March 2006) and the British Association for the Advancement of Science asks: What will YOU do to tackle climate change?

Tony Blair has pledged to turn down his thermostat by one degree, Colin Jackson will swap a domestic flight for a train trip, and Professor Robert Winston will not use his car for the duration of Science Week.

Click for the Climate, and pledge to do your bit to reduce carbon emissions.

Environmental Action (an organisation that was born out of the first Earth Day in 1970) yesterday started an online photo rally in an effort to save the US National Forests that George Bush has decided to flog to make up his budget shortfalls.

Dan Stafford from Environmental Action has asked EcoStreet to help spread the word to as many people as possible to join the rally and post a photograph of themselves in a natural place that they love onto the Environmental Action website. Why not get involved and help save the world’s natural resources?

Whether nipping from office to meeting, or getting home after a night on the town, Londoners can now take a cab without putting more pollution into the atmosphere. Thanks to GreenTomatoCars, a new “minicab” service operating in the UK’s capital, you can pay the same fare, travel the same journey, and be helping the environment, just by choosing to travel with them. How do they do it? Simple really, GreenTomatoCars run a fleet of Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles that emit less than half the amount of carbon dioxide than an ordinary black cab does, and they offset any emissions that they do produce by planting trees with Climate Care.
