Its climate week here in the UK, from 21st - 27th March
While this may be seen as a cynical marketing campaign by the likes of Tesco and BP, there are some regular folk doing some zany things to reduce their carbon footprint,
I'm on there...

Theatre
There are currently two plays about climate change on in London at the moment, well it is an important issue and a bit of a growth industry, if you know what I mean.
Greenland at the National Theatre and Heretic in the West End, both very different.
I saw Greenland recently and thought it brilliant, a pacey storyline, lots of running about and flashing lights, vibrant and youthful. Its about five separate stories that converge at the end. Man's the cause of global warming and his inability to stop it or deal with it.
I really wanted to see a polar and I wasn’t disappointed. Go see it, front row seats if you want to get wet!
Heretic goes the other way, for the climate change skeptics, global warming is not caused by man, so of course it’s a comedy. I haven’t seen it yet and I don’t like it already, but I’ll go for a bit of balance, check back later and I’ll let you know, will take a handful of stickers with me...

A Boiler to begin
What better way to start The Boiling Blog than with a story about boilers.
There's a new boiler in town that creates electricity as a byproduct of heating your home.
How fantastic is that! Heating our houses is the second biggest carbon contributor after the car.
This thing produces electricity while it's doing the central heating. You can use the electricity or export to the grid, which you get paid 10p/ kWh through the governments “clean energy cashback” incentive scheme for householders, communities and businesses for the generation of low carbon electricity.
Well I'm getting one. With one of these in the house and a bumper sticker on the car, that's two of our biggest carbon contributors taken care of, good news for a climate change.
