My petition on the Number 10 site-
Please pop over and sign it. It’s far more reasonably worded than most of the transport related petitions on there and I think it’s a realistic proposal. The bit about motoring journalists is a joke.
They should have their licences revoked automatically.

I’ve been neglecting How to Save the World for Free, and not cross-posting Green links from Spinneyhead. So here are as many as I could find, just to catch up.
Some days I just want to go and live in a tent somewhere.
The fourth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says we can look forward to a rise in the average global temperature of between 2.5 and 5 Celsius by the end of the century. The IPCC is considered conservative when assessing global warming, so for them to come out with such a serious assessment means the evidence is now overwhelming.
Watch our leaders say it’s a terrible thing and something major needs to be done- then do nothing.
Action for Sustainable Living. I’ve been meaning to post this link since someone gave me their business card before Christmas.

American industry groups are calling on George Bush to introduce mandatory emission standards in his State of the Union address. He’s not going to, but the sentiment is appreciated.
Australians take to their bikes.
2012 Olympics to be the “greenest ever”.
Tony Blair takes the credit.
Does anyone really believe the supermarkets talk of going Green? Much like George Monbiot, I’m convinced it’s all PR and the very nature of their business makes them unsustainable.
How Green is your supermarket? Following Tescos and Marks & Spencers’ announcements, the Telegraph tests the big four to see how they’re doing at present.

Dissolving dresses as a metaphor for throwaway culture.
Tesco is the latest supermarket chain to insist it is going Green. The problem is, the Greenest thing many Tesco stores could do would be to close, because the emissions from all the cars driving to them is greater than any direct or indirect CO2 production getting the products on the shelves.
Green cleaning put to the test.
Britain is to have the world’s first official carbon offsetting standards.
Asian states sign key energy deal.
European Commission rules will require new cars to produce less than 120 grams of CO2 per mile

WhiteboardPlus is a resources website for teachers. There are files on it for use with interactive whiteboards and more to come. We’d appreciate suggestions.
What parts of maths, if any, interested you most at school. If we’re to grab the attention of school children this is the sort of thing we need to consider.
Another important question is- what were the concepts that you just couldn’t grasp? Smart boards bring the possibility of animation into the classroom, and some stuff just can’t be explained any other way. Is there anything that would have been clearer to you at the time if you’d seen it in motion.
Of course, we’re going to have to adapt anything you tell us to fit into the existing curriculum, but any comment is valid.

What I tell is a different story,
What i have, I take, then give it all away,
So if you’d like to come this way,
Then help me climb the walls that stand before me.
I wanna know,
If this is just a game,
Can anybody play,
Can everybody win,
Can you believe it,
I may be lost, i may be blind,
I may be cursing most of the time
But it’s half the fun,
And in this world we spin and shout
We want it all we want it now,
They said "oh shut your mouth
You don’t know what you talk about".
I wanna know,
If this is just a game,
Can anybody play,
Can everybody win.
Another show another scene,
The city sleeps below you sing a lullaby,
Another show another scene and,
I can’t imagine the world without me,
I can’t imagine the world without me,
I can’t imagine the world without me, Hey,
I’m on a roll, i’m on a roll, la la la la.
I’m on a roll la la la la,
I’m on a roll la la la la,
I’m on a roll la la la la,
Me me me me me me me me me,
Me me me me me me me me.
