Whats happened to Act On C02 website?

Act on C02 website no more

the brilliant www.actonc02.co.uk seems to have gone by the by, it was a great resource for data and facts used by me and many people for carbon emissions, pollutions etc. It seems to have been swallowed by the conglomerate that is www.directgov.co.uk, probably as a result of the government spending cuts. There doesn’t seem to be any new content and most of the old stuff there so not to bad.

Freedom to travel

Our friends in Brussels at the EU Transport Commission have released Transport 2050 which aims to dramatically reduce dependence on oil and cut carbon emissions by 60% by 2050, how are they going to do this? no more conventionayy-fuelled cars in city centres! 50% shift away from conventionally fuelled cars by 2030, phasing them out in cities by 2050 http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/11/372&format=HTML&
