Web Watch - Autumn 2007

This edition of Web Watch will concentrate on environmental issues. First up, there is the Government's CO2 calculator at Act On CO2. This site features an online calculator that enables you to find out what your carbon footprint is and how you can make some simple changes to help tackle climate change.
In a similar vein, the sustainable transport charity, Sustrans runs a site at changeyourworld.org.uk where you can pledge to make one less car journey next week … If all UK drivers do the same, car traffic will be reduced by 10%. The aim is to show that even small changes in behaviour can make a big difference.
Finally, the BBC provide an excellent resource called Climate Change where you can find all the news, opinion and explanations from around the world on Climate and Environmental issues. To access this site go to BBC.co.uk and enter the words 'Climate Change' into the search box. Follow the first link on the results page to find the Climate Change resource.
