Video: why my home's 67 out of 100 on the green scale

That's me on the right, learning how infrared thermal cameras work as part of an eco audit at my house. Lex on the left is from Green Homes Concierge, a new service that the Mayor of London's offering for £200 to help you green up your home.

I really enjoy reading your blog, it always has great insight. But I am very frustrated with the fact that so few people are talking about presidential candidates and their thoughts on global warming. Now that it is down to just a few candidates I would think that this would be a bigger issue.

Live Earth just picked up this topic and put out an article ( http://www.liveearth.org/news.php ) live earth is also asking why the presidential candidates are not being solicited for their stance on the issue of the climate change. I just saw a poll on www.EarthLab.com that says people care a lot about what their next leader thinks of global warming. Does anyone know of another poll or other results about this subject?

Here is the page where I saw the EarthLab poll: http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx. This is a pretty legit website; they are endorsed by Al Gore and the alliance for climate protection and they have a carbon footprint calculator. Does anyone have a strong opinion about this like I do? No matter what your political affiliation is or who you vote for this is an important issue for our environment, our economy and for homeland security.

Frustrated maybe, but I think you'll find most London-based green bloggers will be directing attention to the one election they can influence: the mayoral elections. And green issues are a crucial stake in this contest.

Interesting stuff having an eco audit. I just watched this one with comedienne Helen Lederer having some eco therapy
