I Just burned an Elephant

Everyones talking about it, but are we REALLY talking about it? Theres an elephant in the room when it comes to climate change and thats our own personal contribution. For me it's 5.6 tonnes a year, that's well below the average person in the UK, but about twice my global fair share. It weighs about the same as an African Elephant.

Why am I thinking about Elephants? It' because instead of revising, i've spent the last few days playing with hydrogen cars, sewing 100 silk flags and making 2 giant Plywood elephants. All part of the epic "face your elephant" tent that will be touring festivals this summer.

I'm very excited. Not only will the tent be crammed full of information about climate change, there will also be techno-toys to play with, computers to work out your emissions on, walls to graffiti over, Sofas to chat on and people to talk to.

Bring on the summer!
