Climate change hits the road.

Cities are the biggest consumers of electricity and therefore the primary generators of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. Now the British Council, Great Britain's international agency for promoting education and cultural relations, has launched its US$7-million two-year ZeroCarbonCity campaign to educate people in 100 cities across 60 countries about climate change. The campaign, begun in March 2005, teaches how decisions at all levels, from urban planning to personal choices people can make every day, can contribute to or help mitigate the effects of climate change. A traveling photographic exhibition is visiting all 100 cities as part of the campaign.
