As the Green movement gathers speed and more and more people realise they should be part of the solution, as if they are not, they are part of the problem, more networking websites pop up. I don't know how long it's been in existence, but I've discovered ooffoo. This is hosted by The Natural Collection, and is a platform which allows people to swap and recycle, share information or ideas, read reviews and discuss things. It is restricted to things which benefit the Planet and people... and I've listed my compost as an 'offer'. And if you were wondering where 'ooffoo' came from... it's HTML programming speak for the colour green!
My 'Facebook Friend' Dave Hampton, who gave up a well-paid job to become The Carbon Coach,
offering advice to businesses and individuals about reducing their CO2
emissions, alerted me to the ooffoo site as he entered a competition
called the 'ooffoo laureate' to find the best piece of green writing.
He is also responsible for informing me about a forthcoming film The Age Of Stupid which is due to be released in March.
This is set in 2055 and features an old Pete Postlethwaite in a devastated world, looking back at our current times and wondering why we didn't take action to avert catastrophic climate change. It looks like it will have a massive impact... perhaps more than An Inconvenient Truth. I look forward to being able to review it!
The Age of Stupid film is Pure Genius.
Probably the most important film ever to be made.
(Dave's mixing his drink ads?)
True though.
