Manchester is my planet......
But I do like a nice little corner of the web when I can find one, so it's good to see that Manchester is my Planet, which aims to encourage action on climate change in Greater Manchester, has relaunched its website. The new, all-singing, all-dancing affair includes much more information about the hows, whys and wherefores of climate change (because we're not all Al Gore). There's a downloads section where you can grab logos and slogans to MIMP-ify your emails or blog (see above for an example...), and a section detailing the various projects that are happening around the area right now - including a Green Parking initiative which could impact on Manchester's congestion charge scheme, and the results of Manchester's climate change survey.
At the moment there's not that much interactivity on the site - though you can take the MIMP Pledge - but it seems as if a forum is on it's way so that carbon-counters can exchange ideas and talk to one another. I've also just discovered a carbon counting application on Facebook - though I'm not sure how user-friendly it's going to be. Does anyone know of others?
