At the start of a new year, here is the great news that an entire country now has the same core commitment as Geetotal – to add no more to total greenhouse gas emissions. The country is Sweden, and their country-wide  ‘net zero’ commitment is for 2045. See the story here

To start the year with some visual entertainment, here are the Guardian 2017 Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards

PS We have just tallied up carbon emissions for last year using the link from the Geetotal website here

This just took 10 minutes – its about making reasonable guestimates.
This year for our household, we have used the UN carbon offset site

We selected this Kenyan safe cooking project as our carbon offset project
Its listed under EE (energy efficiency) households
