The Independent Blog: Why I Think Avaaz Is Pants But Bogs Are Brilliant
Harsh. Really I should like Avaaz, the online petition forum which uses international people-power to lobby for defenceless minorities on a global scale. Why, just this week in less than 24 hours, 500,000 people were moved to sign a petition to help rid Ecuador of an oil project which would threaten virgin rainforest habitat – …

El Periodico “Independent”:Una puntada a tiempo en el agujero de Ozono… ¿qué hay para celebrar?

Road-side Reptile Surprise
As Ecologists, it’s difficult not to stop counting, especially when running and so we undertake daily wildlife surveys, rubbish transects, invasive species and road-kills counts. The data informs our mega transect. It is all added to our rapidly sprouting spread-sheets and shared with local and national interest groups, informs blogs and will be sent to …
Weight Savings
With temperatures hitting 40 degrees C and set to rise as we trudge northwards through Argentina’s northernmost provinces… reducing the weight of the trailer is becoming even more important- it’s just too hot and uncomfortable pulling it to add an iota more. Plus when we stop we are both drowning in our own sweat and …
Solar Powered Fan
My rogue attempt at wiring up an old recycled computer fan to a USB cable for use with our PowerTraveller solar panels – trying anything at all in 40 degree heat! Works really nicely on anything from USB port voltage (5v) to laptop voltage (19v) – or i suppose you could buy on Amazon if …
