So, you’re a green organisation trying to reach out to more people. You’ve realised that Facebook has millions of people on it. MySpace is also, whilst a bit more childish, very popular. But it’s left you with the quandry… what do you do? Greenbang has been speaking
Typical. You wait years for a location map for the best possible wind farms then two come along at once. Following up on the recent NASA announcement in which the space agency had produced a map of the best possible offshore wind farms, Nature today ran the results of the
Greenbang’s got a soft spot for Australia. In addition to the country’s animals having the world’s greatest level of overkill its environmental credentials are also on the up. According to the Aussie newspaper The Age Canberra yesterday outlined a plan for a carbon emissions trading scheme. This

Living in Bristol you have to love balloons. Every year an enormous festival happens with shapes including fire hydrants, Rupert the Bear and even Ikea hoardings. That said, there are none as impressive as one in Paris. Making a huge sweeping generalisation, the Parisians always had an artistic flair so
You have to love the US’ administration’s approach to climate change. If you stick your fingers in your ears and shut your eyes then maybe you wont have to do anything about it. What ever you do don’t open email from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). And if
American sport hasn’t been doing too well on the green stakes of late. American football’s NY Giants and Miami Dolphins flew across the Atlantic for a match against each other at Wembley in October last year. A little over a fortnight before basketball did the same with the
