It's quite understandable that reporting on climate change can get a bit gloomy. Here's my attempt to lighten the mood a bit with some more cheery news:
- Caviar in Wakefield - I love this story (there is a sustainable angle). There's a fish farm in the Yorkshire town that in three year's will produce caviar. It's thanks to a social enteprise called ABLE which has transformed 100 acres of browfield site donated by Yorkshire Water. This came out in a parliamentary question lodged by local MP Mary Creagh.
- The Bank America pledged $20bn this week to environmentally friendly activities over the next 10 years. It will commit $18bn to businesses for areas such as energy efficiency, reducing emissions and developing eco-friendly products and technologies.

- No energy assessor shortage - That's according to Mike Ockenden, director general of the Association of Home Information Pack Providers (AHIPP, catchy name). His outfit is confident there will be 2,500 of them ready for action by June.
- There was a couple of pages on eco-housing in yesterday's Evening Standard Homes & Property section (click here for digital edition). They chat with architects Patrick and Claudia Lynch as well as Dan Epstein on their whizzy new houses. It flags up two upcoming events - the Ideal Homes Show from tomorrow to 1 April which has some sustainable talks in the next three weeks and an exhibition the Building Centre in Store Street, London on Addressing Climate Change in the Capital.
- It's a nice sunny day - well down here in London. Is that a reason to be cheerful or a reason to be worried as climate change is already upon us?
