Dear Contact, We were waiting for summer,  so didn't get out much - which explains this lot.... Carbon Counter is a brand new up to date site -  not  for individual carbon footprinting,  but for organisations. While presenting and collecting much information about the world of carbon, we have added more interactivity for you to respond to -  Carbon Quizes,  Carbon Contenders,  Search Top 100 carbon sites.   See Features for more. One particularly new feature is a "Wiki-ed" page (more about the  ' Wiki 'Way ' ), so that you can help develop the roles and responsibilities for people in organisations to count carbon. We are going to "launch" this site in Manchester . Who should we invite? Mail us  And then there are our other sites. .. Sustainable Food. Make your own sustainable meal - without any shoping! Just Drag n Drop a Sustainable Meal.  You can 'Screengrab' (hit "prtScn button), Save ( Ctrl + S) and Send (via email file) to friends to compare meals. Let us know if you have more foods with the sustainable indicators for carbon, water and health. We have been working on how to make our ideas for sustainable food become real.
