COMMENTS: Getting a little jaded with the disconnect between what these efforts often claim to be seeking, and what they end up awarding, but might be worth a few hours as it's free.

Addendum:

And the winners are... well, not us, sadly. Actually, looking at it, it may not be winners but a shortlist. I think. It's not awfully well laid out...or clear.

Hair shirts and thinking caps - Not exactly easy to find either

Addendum 2:

Found 'em!

Happiness is... a carbon credit card?

Green living: 19 ways to save the planet

O.....k.

I am presuming... hoping, that this is not in order of priority.

Addendum:

Meanwhile, more on the topic of ideas, we have:

Manchester Report: Plans for renewable energy bonds among 20 climate ideas to save the world

I popped a few in to that*; guess they didn't rate:)

*Can cloud-making ships, giant algae "stomachs" and the lessons of the Serengeti save us?

So wrong, but then, possibly, so right

Submit your climate-fighting ideas to the Manchester Report

A fellow poster got there just before me, but regular readers will probably understand why I rather stalled at that headline. How, precisely, does one fight a climate?

However, as it goes on to seek positive solutions, I'll cut them some slack.

I just hope the winners won't be the usual box-ticker pleasing, dubious enviROI suspects.
