I'm an inventor. I like fixing things. But...
Can the ecohackers save us?
I'd really prefer we were a bit more certain of the causes of problems before we presumed to meddle with possible cures.

QUOTE OF THE DAY - What a LOAD
Yes, it's a new acronym, too: Lexicon Of Absolute Doublespeak
The Register : The Department of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform has decided not to appeal a legal ruling that it must release information on secret meetings between ministers, civil servants and lobbyists at the Confederation of British Industry.
BERR said keeping such information private would "protect the 'thinking space' necessary for good public policy formulation"
So when you don't feel like owning up to any, possibly dodgy stuff you may have been/are up to, just get out of jail free by claiming you are 'protecting your thinking space'.

The lobby in our house is where no one actually stays longer than they need to.
It merely a gateway to another place, offering a brief interlude between being on the inside and the outside. Hence it is merely functional, usually a bit dusty, prone to draughts and not my favourite place.
I ponder this as I stood in the lobby of the Houses of Parliament during a tour, and learned that the verb came from the noun, as this was where people sought, and seek to influence those in power.
Government ordered to disclose business lobbying on green policy
Just as there will always be politics when you have more than two folk vying for position, it is foolish to think that, where money is involved, there will no be all manner of shenanigans in trying to sway a decision. And, in a democracy, there can be no restriction on any and all people's rights to make their case.
But what I see in the name of 'lobbying' today is a complete corruption of the fair principles originally intended. As this case lays bare.
Nice one, FoE. Respec'. Mind you, it might all just drive the SOSO sods underground.
