Save the world through the net

MOST of us know the environment is under serious threat, yet we rarely get an opportunity to do anything about it.

According to the WWF, 50 million acres of magnificent rainforest is cleared every year to make way for farmland, releasing six billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere. In just one minute, another 100 acres will be gone.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to stop the deforestation but new environmental charity, Cool Earth, the brainchild of millionaire Johan Eliasch and former Labour minister Frank Field, may offer part of the solution.

Doherty in shock at gangsters being locked up

PETE Doherty was released from prison today after serving only 29 days of his sentence and was surprised to find that jail was full of gangsters.

The Babyshambles frontman who was released early from a 14 week sentence for missing appointments with probation officers joked:

“Thank you, Mrs Thatcher, for putting me in the company of the most dangerous criminals in the country.”

When asked what prison life was like, he said there was “a lot of gangsters and Radio 4″ and then showed off a certificate to prove he passed a drugs test while inside.

Putting his spare time to good use, he revealed he kept a journal and showed reporters a number of sketches and doodles he had done in his cell.

After his 29 day stretch behind bars, Doherty said he was looking forward to a nice glass of rum and coke and spending time with his cats. Rock and Roll.
