Stuart and Toby (featured on the right) are self-appointed carbon explorers on an African Carbon Odyssey. Soon they will contributing some blogs and/or podcasts here, but in the meantime, read about their escapades on their blog.

My favourite quote so far comes from their arrival into Tunis after a rocky ferry ride; a Fagin character had been bossing them around in a market and on discovering their mode of transport exclaimed ‘Why You not catch plane? You not capitalist!?’ This reminds me somewhat of Dopplr’s decision to term users of their new website ‘fellow travellers’, even though they are most definitely high-flying capitalists. So anyway, we look forward to hearing from the courageous lads as they work their way down to South Africa.

Until then,

Hasta Luego amigos!

   I’ll join your campaign for sensibly heated transport! I am always far too hot on the Oxford Tube.

   Jamie, we couldn’t let cold air into our carraige as the windows don’t open – ah! this also meant that we couldn’t really take photos of the view. but these are our only two minor criticisms so far – we’ll let you know in due course what the next leg of the journey is like.
