Sustainable Development Commission Axed
Despite issuing a report this week detailing how its work has saved the UK Government £60-70 million per year at a cost of just £3 million, funding for the organisation has been axed.
Part of the rationalisation is that sustainable approaches should be absorbed into everyday government work, not advised upon by an external body. Sounds nice. Sounds very, very optimistic, too. It’s a bit like saying that a good diet and regular excercise will help you stay healthy – therefore we don’t really need GPs.

We’re pleased to be supporting the Plymouth Marine Sciences Partnership at Oceanology 2010 at ExCel (London, UK). We’ve created an eye-catching animated sequence for their spherical display system…
Following their launch in Australia earlier this month, the climate change animations commissioned by GBRMPA (and produced by Archipelago) are now available online.
