The sanctions clearly are only hurting the poor in Burma. I have seen this myself, the rich are doing fine and getting richer and richer. The sanctions are on… Continue

Everything on there I tried myself and I say if it's rubbish or brilliant! Mind - what works for me may not work for you and the other way. It's a fairly new lens hence only a couple of entries - but high powered ones I think. I aim to add to the lens on a w… Continue

Germany has 200 times more solar power than England. Why? Because German households and businesses get paid a renewable energy reward for the solar power they generate. It's known as the 'feed-in tariff' and has helped make Germany a world leader in renewable energy. Let's have the same for Britain. Take action at http://www.solarplayoff.org
