How we did the maths
 

Yes, we know. It takes about 15 minutes, and it's boring as listening to the weather forecast in Danish. But it makes a huge difference. If we all shut down our computers properly for a year, we'd undo all the damage George Bush did in one typical morning. Now, that may make you feel a but defeatist. But we've got to start somewhere. The journey of a thousand steps begins with pulling on your trainers and saying 'A thousand steps, huh? Is that like going to the station and back or is it longer than that?'
