Just a word to note that the original film here of Avril Lavigne’s 2003 performance in Dublin has been removed from YouTube (although other versions of the same concert exist on that site) so I’ve replaced it with this version recorded at the Budokan in Tokyo, Japan.

Chad
Welcome, and many thanks for your input. It’s good to see that you’ve got a sense of humour.

Don’t jump off that bridge just yet, though. There’s no need to give up, when you can really make a difference.

So hang in there. And keep smiling …

People there is only 1 answer to the the growing energy crisis!! We must all kill ourselves asap so that the planet may live on and that the temp will not rise more than .00000001% of a degree!!

It’s frustrating that films are still released later here in the UK than in the US, but I finally managed to see An Inconvenient Truth.

It’s an excellent movie, and I really recommend it, especially to anyone who inclines to support one or more of these typical ‘sceptics’ viewpoints:

“Well, the scientists are pretty much divided about this, you know …”, or;

“But this isn’t really anything more than a naturally cyclic variation in the weather which we are seeing here. Everyone knows that it has been warmer at times in the past …”; or

“Hey, it was only thirty years ago that the Earth was supposed to be getting cooler and we were all worried about the next Ice Age …”

If you go and watch this movie then very probably you may change your mind about those statements.

On an enormously positive note, the British government announced last week that over 1 million people in the UK now have their energy needs met by green energy sources, with the increase to this figure largely from the rise in offshore wind energy production.

That’s still not enough, but 1 million is certainly an impressive and increasingly meaningful number.

It’s a start, and perhaps we are getting there, ever so slowly. I really hope we are.

Tomorrow may yet be a different day, Avril.

My carbon footprint came out as 2tonnes CO2 per year which is way down on the average of 8.9 for France. This is mainly because I do few car miles and use the plane to visit my folks in the UK once, with train once.

I’m pretty proud of that footprint.

I wish there was a way to harness wave power. There’s so much potential there.

The jury’s returned. I’d need 4.3 planets to support my lifestyle with a footprint of 7.7. And that’s with my slavish devotion to farm-reared produce and my aversion to supermarkets. My downfall is, as suspected, my travelling to work 5 days a week (and being solo in the car). I can do something about that without too much effort (ie make working from home more productive and therefore more attractive).

To be honest, Roads, I didn’t take enough time on Elayne’s site to notice the title! I was immediately drawn to the hound though, being a running companion to a whippet, a lurcher and a spaniel. What an unlikely sillhouette we cast upon the early morning in Sussex as we lope across the hills!

That’s Entertainment – an excellent song from one of the finest bands to emerge from the late ’70′s – funnily enough from around the time that I started lugging bass bins : D

I know what you mean, Elayne. I've felt colder inside Houston office blocks than almost anywhere else on the planet. Strummer is a great name for a hound. As a former roadie, Sweder, I think you should already have spotted that musical link within Elayne's blog title Days of Speed and Slowtime Mondays. It's a direct quote from That's Entertainment, by The Jam, who spent their formative years (poor sods) in Woking, just a few miles from where I write here in Guildford.

The Sierra club quiz asks you your country at the start so I assume it also takes that into account. If you look at some of the links that appear when you finish the quiz there’s one for a more detailed quiz that should give a more accurate reading.

The overuse of air conditioning is terrible in the U.S. I spend the summer bundled in fleece jackets (sometimes with my space heater running) in my office and I have one of the warmest offices in the place. I have to take a sweatshirt with me to go to restaurants, the movies, etc. all summer long. I don’t have air conditioning in my house but it’s just about everywhere else.

And yes, my dog is named after Joe Strummer. Unfortunately, it’s turned out to be a very fitting name.
