After a two-week holiday I have so much to talk about but the hot topic this week is the launch of the Carbonica-Cooltribe partnership.

Cooltribe is a new social network with a green focus. It's made of many "tribes". A tribe has a tread, or several. People upload news and movies (their own or embedded from YouTube). Topics range from the pros and cons of nuclear energy (dry but interesting), your thoughts on the decline of the honeybee (more fun), beautiful clips of divers in Marbella, etc. You can find me there - on occasions - reading or posting - I joined about a month ago.

The good people of Cooltribe are cleverly basking in the sun of Marbella (excellent location to base a global website - Carbonica take note!) and their webdesigners post lovely clips of marine life. So we are left in no doubt of everyone's love of nature.

Cooltribe and Carbonica are cooperating to fight together against illegal logging and deforestation, and Cooltribe now offer to plant a free tree in the rainforests of Brazil or Central America for every member who joins. It's free to join and I think that the only requirement is to complete the registration profile (which includes things like general interests, favourite books etc).

I welcome your feedback. Pls feel free to write to me with ideas/complaints/suggestions for discussion. I would love to hear from you.

Thanks!
