It was nice to see the Queen doing her bit on the day- she had a blanket over her legs in the royal car on the way to the cathedral. She must have asked the driver to turn the heating down to offset the carbon footprint

Good luck to them.
We should all be increasing our carbon footprint if we believe in more life and more diversity of life. The surest way to reduce all life on this planet is to sequester carbon....which *text removed by management* was it who first made out that locking away carbon was good for life on this planet?
How perverse things are these days.

Just as well an awful lot of the stuff was locked away in the Carboniferous Period - or you petrolheads would be stuck for happy-juice.
You'd still be trying to work out how to soup-up your donkey ;)

LOL! [hehe]
And to be serious, more or less CO2 in the atmosphere is not currenty the issue when it comes to diversity (or lack thereof) of life on Planet Earth.

And back to the Telegraph article, who do they get to write these things?
Everyone knows that the wedding ring came from Welsh gold, it's a very long standing tradition :s

Already the couple have done a few small things to limit their footprint. Kate’s ring is reported to be made from Welsh gold rather than minerals from an exploitative mine.

Welsh gold will one day be worth writing a book about - I have had some experience in that area! I might even put pen to paper one day!

Yes, that much would be true John. However, there would be a great deal more life and it would be pleasnt living in the Arctic Circle where its virtually impossible currently and no crops can be grown.

John, I know you are a secret panner on the quiet. You say you dont prescribe to capitalism, but you cant resist the occasional panning to find your fortune all the same! right? ;)

No, Vill, not these days. It has been completely banned! One or two people ignored the warnings and got rather industrial-scale in their operations!
I wound down after the huge 2001 flash-flood. Following several years of digging waist-deep in water for a few flakes of gold, a walk down the river after that storm was all it took to find a 6.5 gramme nugget, my biggest ever, and it was extracted using nothing more than my land-rover ignition key!
I'll just wait for the next monster flood instead :)

Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with capitalism, except there are good and bad varieties out there. The same principle applies to bacteria, of course.... ;)
