Have you heard of the I Count campaign yet? It is a coalition of 50 trusted campaigning organisations focused on "stopping climate chaos". See http://www.ICount.org.uk
I've already signed up online and they provide a range of good options for how I can be part of reducing my carbon footprint. There are probably some options you can act on too.
At Glastonbury at the weekend - where I Count was the headline campaign - over 70,000 new people signed up. It's hard to overstate the kind of leap. Now even bigger things are to come. On 7 July the worldwide Live Earth concerts promise to raise unprecedented awareness about climate chaos. I Count is one of the groups behind the event in London, and will use it to build pressure on politicians, and force political action.
Would you like to be a part of stopping Climate Chaos? The look up this site, and start taking action today. There are all sorts to choose from: from personal day to day actions to political lobbying and everything in between.

Inspired by Louis MacNeice's poem "The Sunlight on the Garden", this blog is about the minutes I have captured in a cage and used for my various dabblings. If you don't at least try to cage them, they just vanish. Here is the opening of the poem: The sunlight on the garden Hardens and grows cold, We cannot cage the minute Within its nets of gold, When all is told We cannot beg for pardon.
About Me
- Mac's niece
- I am an inveterate dabbler when it comes to crafts. This goes completely against my work psycho profile of "completer finisher"! My main craft interests are sewing, painting and (very) basic knitting. I am always convinced I have done nothing creative in years, so this is a chance to collect together my projects, and remind myself what I have done. As well as parenting and my craft interests, I am a volunteer at the local toy library and secretary of the school PTA. I get a lot of fulfillment from investing some time into the community that welcomed us when we moved here in 1999. I also do occasional short term product design and evaluation projects from home. This used to be my full time job, and I am lucky to be able to continue in it in some capacity while to all intents and purposes being a full time mum to my little boy.
