Green updates around Brum

Aug 1st, 2009 by Chris Duggan | No comments yet

Recent updates from some trusted blogs and Twitter streams, including BSustained, ZeroCarbonHouse, BhamRecycled, Faith & Climate Change, and the Lighter Footprints blog at the Birmingham Mail.

The (numerous!) Twitter updates from Birmingham Friends of the Earth are on another page, but the FoE blog posts are below.The content of the updates below is the responsibility of each organisation, which is noted at the end of each entry.

We’ve also created a birmingham-eco Twitter list which shows the latest from all the green Birmingham Twitter streams we know about – this is on the Twitter website itself.
