WebsiteWhy go there
www.ecologyfund.comThis is a link to a site which gets companies to purchase land and plant trees for every time you click.
By clicking on the "Save Land" buttons you see the banner ads of our sponsors and advertisers who then pay for the purchase or protection of the amount of wilderness land indicated at the project selected. All money is paid by the sponsors, it costs you nothing to enable these contributions.
www.thehungersite.comThe same process as above, for every click, money is donated towards providing food for those who need it.




Links to Current Consultations

WebsiteWhy go there
www.consultations.gov.ukThis site is where you can find what public consultations are currently happening. Some specific interests are in this table.
www.dti.gov.uk/renewables
/renew_2.2.5.htm
This links to where you can find out what's going on with, and give your own thoughts on, the Renewables Obligation. The Renewables Obligation is the government target for the increase in the electricity supplied from renewable sources. The current target is 5.5% for 2005/06 rising to 15.4% by 2015/16.
It is expected that the Obligation, together with exemption from the Climate Change Levy for electricity from renewables, will provide support to industry of £1billion per year by 2010.
www.fco.gov.ukThis is something that I spotted and thought I would include as it seems that it is potentially quite a area. This public consultation looks at whether to create a new criminal offence relating to forced marriage. It has arguments for both sides on here.

This one relates to 'simplifying the higher education application process'. As I went to University and worked for the students' union for a year, i find this stuff quite interesting. See what you think

This is about the European Qualifications Framework. These will be what the UK submits to Europe over aims to allow qualifications in different countries to be able to relate to each other - this would all be on a voluntary basis.
