Submitted by bonzobarley on Thu, 09/18/2008 - 9:39am.
Want to know what actions can have the biggest impact on your carbon emissions? Bloom helps you choose actions tailored to your home and lifestyle, then lets you compare them by how much CO2 they save, how cheap they are or how easy other Bloomers have found them. Check out the website here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bloom/ Not convinced? In some cases you're right to be sceptical. Each impartial feature is packed with hard facts, expert opinion and topical debate to help you make informed decisions. We've worked through the complexities for you, so you can keep on top of the issues and get to the bottom of controversies. BBC Bloom has studied over 70 things you can do to tackle climate change (with many more to follow soon). On our website, each action is represented by a seed. Our genial gardener will ask questions to identify which ones suit you best. When you find an action you plan to do, or one you've already done, plant the seed and watch it bloom. Your collection of Blooms shows the progress you've made. Most figures have been verified by the Energy Saving Trust, a not-for-profit organisation funded by the government and private sector. Where necessary we have consulted other leading experts from independent academic and research institutions. All the best, The Bloom Team (1 vote) »
