Hello all,

I’m doing some work for The Guardian on their new eco-awareness website, ‘Tread Lightly’. I’d like to hear any comments you might have about the site, the pledging system or about the issues surrounding it

Please post your comments here and feel free to be as brutally honest as you like :)

Thanks in advance…

About Tread lightly

Do you want to live a more low-carbon lifestyle, but are unsure where to start?

Tread lightly is a community of people committed to reducing their CO2 emissions through making weekly pledges and recording their actions against their pledges.

This will enable people to step up their efforts to reduce their own CO2 emissions, and also to track the combined efforts of the community.

How to get involved

We are starting with an easy pledge – asking users to switch to energy-efficient lightbulbs. You can choose your level of commitment for each pledge – light, medium or heavy user.

Each week, on a Friday, there will be a new pledge, such as turning appliances off standby, washing clothes at a lower temperature or using the car less frequently. You can also suggest pledges you think the community should make on our blog.

i am sick and bloody tired of having eco this, and eco that,rammed down my neck and being made to feel guilty for breathing, or having the nerve to put yer central heating on. ffs when are you lot ever gunna give it a rst ! we all do our own bit in our own way. but its getting sooooo god damned boring now.everything you do contributes to the death or destruction of the eco forest, and yet we are bombarded daily with leaflets and brochures. that we neither want nor need.
why doesnt gordy just wave a cheque and get it made illegal to send junk mail via post. etc etc… sorry folks rant over, mrs angry came out to play. must be me ormones :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Funny isnt it that permission is given to destroy beautiful villages and countryside to make way for more runways = emissions, yet if you go shopping without your own bag you get beaten up by the carrier bag police.
