Environmental decision making books
Trawling through Amazon to find books on environmental decision making I might have missed, I noticed this one came in at number 6. Not exactly a user friendly description but a move in the right direction...and according to the record there's one left! :)

Emissions awareness
So nearly three out of four motorists don't know how much Co2 their cars emit, according to this article in the Independent. I'm surprised one out of four do - it's a bit like being able to reel off the details of how much gas and electric your household consumes rather than how much the bill comes to. Fuel consumption - yes, engine size - yes.....but perhaps like most of the British public, I've never owned a new car, when specifications are very much on show so it's in second hand markets that these details need to be available?
Wrest Park in July
Definitely a good day for Wrest Park today. Lovely to sit in the peaceful shade of its wonderful trees on this hot and humid July day.
Harvest
The year marches on. We hand over our Environmental Responsibility book at the end of the month to the publishers so a lot to do over the next few days. I'm conscious as I'm sitting at my computer of combines harvesting nearby fields well into the night. We've watched the crops grow from seed. I find harvest time quite exciting - the general transformation captured by this sort of site I think, rather than just the excitment of the big machines, though the activity is all part of it. Interesting to take a look at how some of the farming community views this time and at some of the Farmers Weekly site's blogs.
