China has been going back to the future this week, according to newshounds on the ground, telling everyone about an environmental plan the country dreamed up in 2006. Yep, 2006. Xinhua has the scoop, saying Monday saw the belated publicising of a five year environmental plan which was meant to
Walking through the drizzly streets this morning, Greenbang came across a skip. Not your usual skip, mind, replete with a dead mattress, a hobbled kitchen chair and a decimated pram, but a green skip. It looked like any other skip, parked outside a building which was being refitted. Only this
Some days Greenbang likes to give thanks to the pun gods for making her job easy. Today is one of those days, after Greenbang discovered that a wave power company wants to float on the stock exchange. Wave power. Float. You can see where this is going. Greenbang is welling
Smooth This CBI blah that came out today is really generating a lot of press releases from companies that boast they’re up to the challenge. Here is one such company – although it’s still not been proven smoothies are actually good for you… 🙂 Innocent, one of the first three

The Rockefeller Centre now has solar-powered Christmas tree lights.
The European Commission is good for many things. Chiefly giving the Daily Mail an excuse to print stories about those crazy Brussels bureaucrats banning bananas that were deemed too curvy. And it’s also good kicking Europe’s carbon offenders into line. The venerable grey-haired fellows at Brussels have come
Did you know there was an election going on in Australia? No? Let Greenbang bring you up to speed in that case. The Aussies have thrown out shifty looking John Howard and brought in nerdy looking Kevin Rudd. Rudd has already pledged to get all environmental on Australia’s ass.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear, so the wisdom goes. Although it’s more like speak of Motorola’s trial of wave and solar powered base stations and then something else happens with it. Although Greenbang is the first to admit it’s not the pithiest axiom you
Greenbang is flippin’ tired of Christmas, and it’s still November. This will make him sound like a grumpy old man, but it’s just not right that you can’t even fit into the shops, let alone find some crap to buy someone as a present. Over the past
