For Christmas I was given the book "Seeing Further, The Story of Science & the Royal Society". Within its excellent 22 separate essays was one by Oliver Morton entitled "Globe and Sphere, Cycles and Flows: How to see the World". One of the main thrusts of that essay was to point out how inaccurate it is for various campaigns and environmental groups to bang on about "saving the planet".

It's that time of year again, where we all resolve to lose weight, go to the gym, stop smoking. But have you thought about resolving to make a few small changes to become more environmentally friendly?
