Hi everybody. I call myself the carbon coach. Wahay! It seems pretty logical to me that if you call yourself that - you don't fly. As it happens I am really lucky, as i don't need to fly, i don't like airports, and i don't miss flying. My family may have to, now and then, but i don't. To me it kinda goes with the territory as it were :o) Haven't flown for years. I sometimes wonder if my life purpose is to find a way to say those three little words "I don't fly" ... in a way that is inspirational, uplifting (sic), grounded, non-preachy or judgemental, and generally not off-putting, (as distinct from off-setting!) Many of my clients have to fly loads - i don't bemoan or judge or try and stop that - it's a freedom of choice thing and I chose not to. Funnily enough it usually gets a good reaction when I tell people I cannot give talks etc abroad, and ask them if they can video link me. By the way I love Tv programmes on the jungle, different cultures, people places etc and reckon you can do quite a bit of exploring third hand via travellers like Michael Palin? So, how did i do? Thanks!

Hello! Welcome Bright Green Things. I'm sure you're all in suspense about what you'll be doing as a BGT. You're very special role will kick off next week :) In the meantime, if you haven't already, join Green Thing's facebook page (www.facebook.com/dothegreenthing) so we can start discussions there. Thanks!

Hiya to all the other Bright Green Things. Can't wait to hear your tips on how to get friends to be more green cos my flatmates are more Jeremy Clarkson than Al Gore.

Hi Zoonie, Yes absolutely and we'll be encouraging you to feedback here in the very near future! Please watch this space. :)

Hmm - is this a general board we can all use? Just testing.
