Hi Jack
How’s it going'? You get a chance to look at the metro on Monday? - really good article about communities & climate change in the green section.

Just some more research...

THE ARTICLE:

Act now before it snowballs!!!
Press release dated 2nd July 2007

"The weather may be unpredictable at the moment, but Bradford Council is confidently forecasting snow in the city centre on Tuesday 10th July 2007

Approximately 20 tonnes of real snow is to be dropped in Centenary Square to encourage people to think about climate change.

The Council's climate change awareness programme has a slogan 'act now before it snowballs' and has a theme of conflicting seasons to reflect the changes to the world's weather as a result of global warming."

You had any more ideas? Do you want to have a skype convo some time this week to discuss our best ideas and how they could be developed? my weekend at my sisters halls was an eye opener to the whole student energy wasting issues. I will explain my findings when i speak to you next.

Cheers
Dan
