This one comes from Correspondent Hines, who, even in the midst of world travel with fiancee Tara, still has time to send us less exciting Londoners greenie websites. This, like the carbon emissions footprint on BP.com, is a quick and easy way to figure out what you're using and where.
Our household came in at 1/2 of national average but that's still 34 buckets of water per person per day. I bet the environment misses my pre-professional days when I'd wear the same pair of jeans 3, 4, 5...6 times before washing them.

I am in complete adoration of the Lazy Environmentalist blog. All of his June pieces have been very interesting. The piece on eco-transport and the new media zeitgeist are good reads and link throughs. Lazy Environmentalist My apologies about lack of entries lately. Working hard to get the $/£ to but those Eco products! Though, I confess, I have longed for the harshness of bleach to whiten my ever greying sinks. After our California trip, it's nice to be back in London where there's a Smart Car on every corner and Vespas instead of Hummers. And the national papers seem to be attacking SUVs in cities more and more regularly. I recently saw a bloke drive through a red light at a busy pedestrian intersection in his Range Rover, while on the phone, as an ambulance was trying to get by him while he continued his big-car mayhem, oblivious.
