Green how-to videos on SmartPlanet

It's hard to open a weekend newspaper or Stumble across the web without coming across eco tips. Fit a Hippo! Compost your food! Seal your draughts! goes the advice. Even though they're relatively simple though, just seeing these tips in text can be off-putting, so -- in the spirit of a picture telling a thousand words and a video telling a gazillion words -- I've started a series of 'Smart Tip' videos over on my day-job site, SmartPlanet. They're not strictly how-to vids (you may still need instruction manuals) but they do show you how easy basic green steps are. My favourite is this one on ensuring your compost doesn't get stinky.

thanks for the infor but we have to change the system as well as our habits...to this end I have posted an appeal for Green Party members to support the Kingsnorth Climate camp, you can read it here http://another-green-world.blogspot.com/2008/06/join-with-thousands-in-mass-action-to.html

Agreed Derek -- just composting more and saving energy in our homes won't be enough. We mostly focus on the consumer/lifestyle side at SmartPlanet though. You guys at the Green Party, FOE, Greenpeace et al do the political/collective action thing much better.

I found this video about software that saves energy you can install on your computer. It works really well and its free
