We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Default Lawmakers being forced to give up gas-guzzling cars
Rep. Elton Gallegly of Simi Valley likes his taxpayer-funded Ford Expedition. He isn't worried that it's not the most fuel-efficient car. It's reliable, suits his mountainous district and is cheaper to lease than many other vehicles.

Yeah that's really f***ing good for them right? I can't believe I haven't heard of this, it's one of the most REDICULOUS articles I've heard in a while.
