Steve Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi all - Don't know if anyone else is concerned about climate change, but if you think the Bali conference needs to be given as much support as possible, add to Al Gore's petition which he'll use while addressing the conference - erm - tomorrow I think. Find it here. Also (you can tell I'm trying to avoid actually starting work for as long as possible, can't you?), there's a very diverting site you might not have come across which tests your word power and while you are playing, adds grains of rice to a total that they send to the third world. It's a bit difficult to explain, but easy to play, fun and the longer you play, the more rice you send. Find it here. There must be a lot of people avoiding work because they've sent coming up to 8 billion grains of rice since August! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Those are difficult words. I wont tell my highest level, ever, ever !! It did make me wonder though..If everyone of us was really bad at vocabulary, would the rice still be sent? Al Gore signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mundia Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thanks for the minder Steve, already done the petition. Managed 50, that must be about a cup of rice?
