Debunking the deniers

Thu, 1 Nov 2007 22:14:46 +0000

Refuting the channel 4 documentary "Great Global Warming Swindle" ...

A great analysis that pulls to pieces the poor science from Channel 4

The refutation of the sunspot theory is especially worth noting.

The most terrifying video you'll ever see

Watch and Act!.. great argument and shows the climate change deniers for the misanthropes they are.

Sheffield Free Bus

I had a fantastic day out in the Sheffield Free Bus today.

"...Some people believe in asking large coporations for cheap services so that there is less profit made. Whilst we understand that this is a desirable goal we go one step further to ask for a cooperative way of living, where no profit is produced. Although there are potential alternatives to using buses such as cycling. realistically people need effective public transport that is environmentally friendly and better than running individual cars. Corporations are exploiting our needs"

Next Steps

Sat, 5 Jun 2004 13:54:00 +0100

With the success of Burngreave Community Area Network, we need to start building on it and putting some content in through the pipes..

Next steps ?

1. plug residents who are interested working with Community Organisations directly into the CAN ?

2. get timebank software going ? Use it to coordinate volunteer activity ?

3. find ways of 'can' abling every community group in Burngreave ?

Burngreave Evironment and Fun day

Mon, 3 May 2004 18:47:00 +0100

May 2nd 2004, went to the Burngreave Evironment and Fun day It was really good. Music, stuff for all ages, people making green houses out of waste plastic water bottles. Information on recycling and composting, and great music.

Spent a May 3 in the Earth Centre Conisbourgh .. Its a pleasant enough day out, but full of contradictions.

For a site dedicated to sustainable development it seems to have a lack of discussion on alternative economics, organic gardening, permaculture. The retail side of it seems to sell the usual junk food that you can by at Mcdonalds than anything more positive like New roots

Community Library

Community Library

Register and Share!

Register your details with http://library.burngreave.net and start to build an online community library for Burngreave and Sheffield.

The Distributed Library Project is an experiment in sharing information and building community in Sheffield and initially in the Burngreave Area.

Unfortunately, the traditional library system doesn't do much to foster community. Patrons come and go, but there is very little opportunity to establish relationships with people or groups of people. In fact, if you try to talk with someone holding a book you like - you'll probably get shushed. The Distributed Library Project works in exactly the opposite way, where the very function of the library depends on interaction.

How does it work?

Create an account, then list the books and videos that you own. You will then have access to the multitude of books and videos available in other people's collections. You can search for specific authors or titles, browse individual collections, find nearby users, or find people who like books in common with yours. You will have access to user-written reviews and have the opportunity to write your own.

If the owner of a book or video you're interested in has time for you to pick it up, you can check out items for a 2, 7, 14, or 30 day period (at the owner's discretion). Returning books late will get you negative feedback, while returning books promptly will get you positive feedback. You are never under any obligation to lend an item if you don't feel comfortable doing so.

How do you manage trust?

While this is a community site based on good will, we have an ebay-style feedback system for managing trust. Lenders have the opportunity to leave positive or negative feedback for borrowers when an item is returned. These positive or negative points contribute to an overall "score" which lenders can use to gauge the trustworthiness or responsibility of a borrower. Lenders can also leave comments along with the points to be more specific.

Playgrounds and Facilities for Children

Sun, 22 Jun 2003 17:38:00 +0100

Whats going on with the playgrounds and parks in Burngreave. Absolutely nothing as far as I can see.

Timeline of Neglect

1. "The Future of Abbeyfield Park"
http://www.burngreavemessenger.org.uk/messenger/december2001/abbeyfield.shtml

"After a site meeting with Ian Mitchell from the Sheffield City Council, he was shocked by the state that the playground had fallen into. He said that broken pieces of equipment will be repaired and that there will be a general clear up of the area. All the equipment will be given a coat of paint in the spring."
