Social network sites for like -minded people wanting to do something about climate change could really help information and fact sharing on renewable energy projects and climate change events in their local area.
The recently launched Devon CAN! site (Climate Action Network) was set up by Carl Munson to start campaigning about climate change, provide an ideas platform, and “raise morale and reinvigorate ourselves”.
It contains details of events in the local area and the wider UK such as the irresistible Zero Carbon Britain Seminar 31st March organised by the Centre of Alternative Technology in Powys, Wales. The seminar is to be held in their Straw Bale Theatre and you get a free vegetarian buffet and a glass of wine if you can make the trek to mid-Wales by green transport.
If people know of other local pro-active social network sites for climate change action, please leave the details in the comments section.

A US site, CO2gether.org, was launched a few months ago and focuses on South Central Wisconsin. It lets users calculate their carbon footprints from home energy and transportation use, track them over time, and collaborate with other users in groups and discussions. Customers of the sponsoring utility company, Madison Gas and Electric, can automatically use their electricity and natural gas data in their footprints.
