Personal Information

I'm very interested in environmental matters having been inspired as a child by the Ladybird book "What on Earth Are We Doing?" [Keen, D.H. & Simmons, G.E.](1976). For a couple of years I worked in the aluminium recycling business. I love bicycles and cycling and I particularly like to see bikes 'rescued' and recycled to be used again. I don't spend enough time at my Wolsey Drive allotment. My postal address is 'Kingston' but according to the council I live in the borough of Richmond.

Carbon intensive car travel needs to be addressed on 10th January 2011 at 15:42

I've been looking into the carbon emitted in the use of our car. In 2010 we did a fairly modest 3,500 miles a year (5,600km) in a 1995 1.4 litre Astra which I'm guessing emits about 180g/km. That Read More.
