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 What a Waste - BBC programme
Hello

Just thought you might be interested in a new BBC World News series - What a Waste - that looks at how the world is going to cope as the demand for power and energy grows and grows.

It's a five part series looks at public transport in Bogota, green cars in America, solar panel production in China and the city of Freiburg in Germany – one of the most eco-conscious cities in the world.

It started Friday 25th July at 1930 GMT (not ME)
Repeated: Saturday 0430, Monday 1230 (AP only) Tuesday at 1530 and Wednesday at 0130 (not SA, ME or AP)

You can find additional info and local programme times on the website:

Can you watch them online without having a TV licence? Otherwise I'll just have to hope Blockbuster gets them for rental like Waking the Dead.

Sounds good Juliet, thanks for sharing. Should do an interview on the program in the guest speaker section perhaps.

I hadn't seen the guest speaker forum. I don't think I'll be able to get hold of anybody for this programme, but I'll certainly keep it mind for future programmes
