- Charlie Brooker puts his finger on one of consumerisms little tricks. The iPhone 4’s “most impressive feature is this: simply by existing, it suddenly makes your Olde Worlde vanilla iPhone seem rubbish.”
- Josh at Steady State Revolution has put together a great set of web feeds on sustainability.
- Ed Miliband gave an interesting interview this week with Left Foot Forward. Considering he may be the next leader of the opposition, it’s great to hear him saying equality should be an explicit goal, that there should be a high pay commission, electoral reform is important, and that GDP is not everything.
- The Glastonbury music festival made some big green claims this year. But, “it is in fact an orgy of over-consumption” says Tom Hodgkinson, which makes millions for major corporations. Don’t tell the hippies.
Jeremy,
Thanks for the shout-out!
Cheers,
Joshua
