• The Web Of Hope has just got better
     
    We've redesigned the website from the ground up to create a site that mirrors our times. 
  • The Web Of Hope is lively
     
    With news, commentary and analysis, and plenty of new, inspirational stories. And you can have your say as well. 
  • The Web Of Hope is interactive
     
    You can leave comments on stories, and there's more social networking than you can shake a stick at! Twitter tweetly. Face-up with Facebook. 
  • The Web Of Hope is arty!
     
    Arts and ecology, like peaches and cream, Ben and Jerry, Ed and Ed, Popeye and Olive Oyl. We're talking to the brightest young talent. Hopesters are go! 
  • The Web Of Hope is intuitive
     
    New menu bars - one at the top for the basic stuff, including Google search; one below the logo for stories. Lots of contextual help in the sidebars. 
  • A new way of ordering things
     
    We've redesigned the taxonomy, matching it more closely to the real world. Each story is comprehensively tagged and cross-categorised.  
  • Our philosophy
     
    Sustainability is the core of the project. It follows that arguments are heard, debate is joined, rigour is applied, tough choices are faced up to. Thinking is required. 
  • Join the Team
     
    Bill Scott is our first contributor and the team now includes Joshua Konkankoh in Cameroon. Have something to say? Then say it here. 
  • Horrors: Energy
    We now consume as much oil in a year as it takes nature one million years to create. World oil production peaked in July 2008 at 74.82 million barrels/day. The average total annual bill for powering America’s Jacuzzis is $200 million. Appliances on standby use 10% of UK household electricity.
  • The Seawater Foundation
    Seawater represents 97% of Earth’s water supply; it is abundant. In fact, it is perhaps our only unlimited natural resource. The Seawater Foundation (TSF) is about using that resource.
  • FlowAir Cars
    Bringing zero pollution motoring at any speed, for any distance, to the largest number of motorists possible and significantly improving the quality of the air we breathe.



  • Redefining Health
    In the same way that we cannot add chemicals to Earth’s systems without creating systemic impacts on the surrounding ecology, so the introduction of toxic drugs to the human system will always produce systemic side-effects.

  • Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network
    The town of Wadebridge in Cornwall looks set to become Britain’s first ‘solar-powered town’, installing solar panels on residents’ roofs free of charge, then collecting feed-in tariffs from the government which will go towards community funds.
