My flight to Sydney and back via Kuala Lumpur was an estimated 34368 Km and produced 3.78 tonnes of CO2. According to futureforests.com I need to plant 5 trees to make my flight CarbonNeutral or supply 5 energy saving lightbulbs to a small community in the developing world. So that’s an additional ?42.50 to think about before I buy my next trip over. I think to be fair they should just add another tax.
I’ve gone for the trees option as I’ve already been sponsoring trees with treesforlondon.co.uk

Battle to ‘nail Section 28’ starts in the House of Lords

The House of Lords is holding its first debate on the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales on Thursday, 3 April. Stonewall expect this debate to provide the first indication of the level of opposition to the repeal of this hateful clause in the House of Lords.

Stonewall still need as many people as possible to help them in their campaign to “” by signing the petition against Section 28, which they are going to present to the three main political party leaders.

The next stage of debate in the House of Lords will come around Easter time when repeal will be discussed more closely by the committee considering the Local Government Bill.

As does the TV Quiz Trial halted for coughing. Ironic really. The trial of a British army major accused of cheating in the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” TV quiz with the help of a coughing accomplice was adjourned on Monday — because of an outbreak of coughing among the jury.
