Like a few other carbon calculators-gone-social, BBC’s Bloom site presents 50 carbon-fighting actions from line-drying your clothes to traveling by train. With Bloom’s actions, you can see how many other users have pledged, learn more about the impact an action will have, and invite your friends to pledge with you.
The best fun to be had here is to cruise through Bloom’s flash-animated collection of actions represented by colourful beans placed in a spiral. Watch the bean sprout and bloom when you adopt an action. Sure, the site’s a bit UK-centric, but us Canucks never seem to mind. British accents and lingo are a ceaseless source of amusement for many of us.
If you’re motivated visually, check out Bloom today. Raising Spaces also recommends World Wildlife Fund’s Canadian version The Good Life
. It tracks your carbon emission reductions with each simple action you take while allowing you to challenge your friends to some friendly carbon cutting fun.
