Today is Green Britain Day – a joint initiative between EDF and The Eden Project to kickstart the UK in working together to cut our carbon footprint by the 2012 Olympics.

There are several ways that you can get involved, from getting to know your neighbours with The Big Lunch, holding a clothes swapping party, or joining an eco team in your community.  The Team Green Britain website also has many other suggestions on ways that we can all get involved in fighting climate change and making Britain a greener place.

There are varying opinions in the press in regards to the launch of Green Britain Day – some very supportive , and some a lot more cynical (especially in regards to the involvement of a major French energy company in this initiative). 

But the sentiments behind the idea are themselves laudable – “Green Britain Day” just serves as a focal point for organisations and individuals to take action towards a more sustainable lifestyle.  After all, every single one of us has the power of our own actions, and if our actions are reflected in the actions of organisations, and supported by governments, then, together, we have the power to change the world 

So what are your views about the initiative?  Do you have any ideas to share on energy efficiency / climate change?  What are you doing to get involved?  You can share your thoughts and ideas with the network here >>>
