carbonrally: Small actions, Big Impact

i just came across this website, via dominic campbell, and its pretty much a perfect exemplar of the GreenMonk mindset. Its upbeat, its community-oriented, and it clearly demonstrates that even small changes can make a difference.

How does it work?

The idea is to sign up to challenges, as simple as for instance making sure your car tyres are properly pumped up, and then see that others are doing the same thing, then aggregating the relevant data.

For example:

209 people have reduced CO2 emissions by 1.32 tons by completing this challenge so far. That’s equal to turning off the electricity of 1 home for about 1 month!

You can then hook up with others, create teams, or compete to be the most carbon-busting carbon buster. Very cool all around. Except its US only…. 🙁
