Qik Meeting Point Notes

I TELL VISITORS that the Financial Times is an essential part of the European information diet and so I spent my last hour in Europe this month reading the FT Weekender while making a short Qik clip about some items worth sharing. There are two eco-aware items I'd like to discuss with Tom Raftery. One about consumer behaviour in Germany [1] and another about the hopeless goal of constructing new homes to a zero net carbon standard. [2] There's a culture item about Twitter [3] and quality writing in this week's New Scientist [4] to keep me riveted to the departure lounge as I prepare for an Atlantic crossing.
