This was EarthFireIce’s first public appearance, following our approval by the Charity Commission last Thursday. We had 8 people working on each day at Hyde Park Calling - a huge 2-day gig (75,000 people) with a whole load of bands (Aerosmith headlining on Sunday). We were spreading information about climate change and getting people to make pledges on the EarthFireIce website.

Just had a look at your website and I see you’ve recently come back from your honeymoon in Hawaii. Hey -congratulations! Coincidentally, I was in Maui in April. Isn’t it a cool place.

I get tired of hearing all the complaints of gas prices but people just keep on paying. If you’re concerned about gas prices why not reduce your consumption? Its good for your pocketbook as well as the environment.

We need to get past the consumerist attitude we all have. We spend because we can, buy products we dont really need.

I find that i get disgusted by very simple things that people could be doing differently. As an example the cafeteria where i work still uses Styrofoam cups. Aren’t these outlawed yet? why not?

sorry for getting a little off topic…

Coincidentally, as you were coming home, a new scientific report came out today showing that the north pole ice cap is disappearing much faster than anyone expected - and it could be completely gone within the next few years. Time to turn off some lights, I think.
