ISSUE No 1 Arrow link to issues intro

"We have got to do something about our energy strategy because if we permit the climate to continue to warm at an unsustainable rate, and if we keep on doing what we’re doing 'til we’re out of oil ...
it’s inconceivable to me that .. the world won’t be much fuller of resource-based wars of all kinds."

Talking Carbon...
People everywhere are starting to mention "carbon"- Emissions, Footprints, Credits, Labels, Rations and much more.
We believe organisations hold the key to future change - not inviduals; but individuals working collectively, within good organisation, can make significant changes in reducing our carbon emissions. There will be many debates about what to do to reduce carbon emission and we want those debates to occur, as they should involve everybody. We aim to both stimulate debate and work out what to do at work.
