As far as forests are concerned, as well as being beautiful, vital for biodiversity and home to millions of people, they are crucial carbon sinks.]]> http://climateanswers.info/2009/06/agriculture-and-forests/feed/ 0 http://climateanswers.info/2009/04/reducing-your-carbon-footprint/ http://climateanswers.info/2009/04/reducing-your-carbon-footprint/#comments Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:01:15 +0000 Stephen Tindale http://climateanswers.info/?p=355 There is much talk these days of reducing our 'carbon footprints'.

Why have we done this? Well, this site is really about actions and not prohibitions - what we can do, rather than just what we shouldn't. We do not wear hair shirts at Climate Answers and we are born optimists!]]> http://climateanswers.info/2009/03/climate-answers-technology-policy-and-behaviour/feed/ 2
