Cool! How about arranging a London members meeting?!
Home - A Film by Yann Arthus Bertrand at Open World Café & Gallery
June 10, 2009 from 6pm to 8pm
This 90+ minute documentary is not only breathtakingly beautiful in the scenery of the Earth filmed from the air, it is a document of our time, with brilliant narration, and facts of human impact on the planet presented in a compelling, irrefutable…
Thank you Ed, Great tip. Also on the Prodes project, although unfortunately when I got down to 2 km the screen went black; perhaps they start charging when the resolution gets usable. The person who is doing the geotechnical survey uses similar pict…
I have looked more into this 'Age of Stupid' film - apparently it's really great.
The official UK release is in 2 days but only through independent viewings, one of which I am hoping to arrange myself in Newcastle. As for across Europe, I think the…
Does anyone here know about Brasil's PRODES project?
Using satellite imagery, they are painstakingly following the rapid destruction of the tropical rainforests in Brazil.

Cool, I didn't know much about him so have done a bit of reading. I'm not sure what it says in the book, but from what I could find it seems one of his main objections to wind is the UK governments attempts to relax planning laws and build them even…
Hi Ed, I will look into age of stupid, what do you think about James Lovelock's book " The Vanishing Face of Gaia"? He is against wind and in favour of nuclear - what do you think?
Returned one week ago from Brazil, where we now have a partnership…

- Hi Ed, Thank you for the www.monbiot.com tip, great, especially the "Pure Rubbish: Christopher Booker Prize 2009".
If you have a suggestion for a book I will be happy to add it, unfortunately it has to be done by me. Alternatively, and perhaps better, is if you would like to post a review of the book in the forum, and generate a discussion. In some text boxes there is the possibility of adding HTML links - as above. Thanks for sharing!

- Hi Ed, I like your stuff, funny (one of them), but serious, good mix. Is that alien Eddie Izzard?

- Hi Ed, Just wanted to thank you for all the excellent contributions to the network. We are developing an idea about documentaries for and about sponsors who support our "Replanting a Rainforest" project so both your discussions are very relevant. Best, Christer

- Hello Ed! And welcome! I guess I have to admit a certain relationship to Porsches, I comfort myself with the thought of being happy with a 1958 Speedster, which has essentially a souped up VW Bug engine = less speed, less pollution. I was recently looking into electric cars and found some very fun videos on YouTube about rebuilt Porsche 914's; maybe something you want to look into? Anyway, look forward to seeing you here. Invite your friends, post a blog (on wind energy?). See you, Christer

- Hey deary! How fun to see you here! How are you?!?!?
I've been thinking of writing you quite a few times, never end up doing it. When are you heading back to Britain? It looks as if I'll be in London this fall ;-)
Good to hear from you! Beijos
