FixMyTransport

No comments:
FixMyTransport website has launched. In their words its 'a site specially built for public transport users in Britain who want to make public transport better for us all. We've worked hard to make the site work well, but we're sure there are plenty of things we won't have got quite right - so please do send us feedback if there's anything that's not right, or anything you'd like to see added or improved.

If you're here and you don't have a problem to report today, why don't you
look through the list of recent problem reports, or browse your local area. If you're feeling sunny you could even leave a compliment about a route or station that you think is particularly good - we're not all doom and gloom here.'

Avaaz - Australia: the next great hope for climate

No comments:
Right now, a major climate fight is blowing up in Australia -- the government is about to pass a law that would cut carbon emissions and get polluters to pay. But big businesses, backed by Rupert Murdoch, are trying to kill the bill.

This carbon pricing law is a win win measure -- it will push dirty businesses towards clean production and tax polluters, generating more resources for working families. If it passes, it will spur other major emitters to follow suit and could be the next best hope for climate. But Murdoch's megaphone of fear is massive -- he owns seventy percent of Australia's press. If together we can drown out his campaign to crush the bill with messages of hope from across the world, we could help it pass.

This battle is being fought on the Australian air waves now. Sign the urgent petition to back this bold initiative -- when we reach 250,000 signatures, we’ll run inspiring radio ads that deliver our global messages, lay out the benefits of the law and rouse public support:
