Flowers, calculators, and a dark dystopian disaster...

Consumers

  • Charles Clover writes in the telegraph that our recycling figures are up this year, to 31% of all rubbish (in England). We're now recycling 29.1 million tonnes of the stuff a year!
Business
  • Google has launched its own carbon calculator as part of it's igoogle service. It was only a matter of time, really. Has anyone created on of these for facebook yet???
  • Shell has been rapped over the knuckles for it's excessively floral advertising, as the ASA upholds a complaint from Friends of the Earth over adverts released earlier this year.
  • Have you greened your IT? Greenbang reports today that: 80 per cent of executives surveyed at US businesses told analyst firm IDC that ‘Green IT’ is growing in importance for their organisation. And 43 per cent said they consider a vendor’s ‘greenness’ when selecting their suppliers.
Politics

  • The Green Party has branded Brown's vision for the future a "dark, dystopian disaster" in their response to the Queen's Speech.
