Green/environmental PodCasts 01/21/2008 Karma: 0  
So I just got a new iPod and I'm starting to check out various Podcasts. I'd love to get some suggestions on environmentally focused podcasts if any of you have listened to any good ones...

So far, I've checked out Grist.com and Renewable Energy Access. Any more that I should hear?

Podcast for cleaner air





By Tony Belshaw Transport reporter

GREEN campaigners are launching an online podcast to encourage people to help make the region's air cleaner.
South Yorkshire's Air Quality campaign Care4Air is launching the first edition of the podcast on a big screen today at the top of Fargate in Sheffield.

It looks at sustainable travel and outlines the effects that air pollution has on the environment.

It also gives hints and tips on how to make a small change in your everyday life, such as cycling, walking, using the bus or car sharing, to improve air quality.

Mark Daly, spokesperson for Care4Air said: "We are confident that this new media channel will help us to reach even more people and encourage them to think about the ways in which they could help to improve air quality."

To download the Care4Air TV podcast you should visit www.care4air.org/care4airtv
