Grow your own veg! (or even better... get someone else to do it for you)

I just found this website called Landshare. If you have some land that you'd like to use to grow food, you can use the site to find people to help you prep the land and plant stuff (and vice versa). I'm trying to rope people in to sorting out my garden (i can't see the ground for nettles...). If you live in the Hackney area and you're keen to grow veg, give me a shout!

Author: Chris Bianchi, ClimateChangeCorp.com

The world record-holder for the most successful ascents of Mount Everest is saying that climbing the world's highest peak is getting harder, and it's not because of his advancing age

Low carbon climbing in Cornwall

Are soaring fuel prices and the threat of global warming enough to tempt climbers out of their cars? Zara Maung and Julie Black decide it’s time to try some low-carbon climbing.
