'or win a weekend with Ed Davey?

'And the runners up prize...a whole week with Ed Davey - yogurt knitting in a yurt somewhere near his Surbiton constituency'.

I'm not sure that anything could beat the supercharged excitement that was Climate Week 2012. But do you also remember the equally supercharged Zero Carbon Britain Day of 2012, or the amazing one before that, in 2011? (I do, because I searched for it on the internet, many months later!)

One event that hit the big time and got into the local newspaper in 2011 was when some people went out and proved that a person on a skateboard using no fossil fuels actually moves faster than a BMW that is also not using fossil fuels because it is just being pushed along without the engine being on. Hard to fully comprehend, isn't it, but I'm sure you will agree that this was an astounding demonstration of just how useless fossil fuels really are - I mean, without any fuel at all, a BMW is really slow, heavy and hard to drive, especially without some helpful people around to push it along the road.

Incidentally, this finally made me realise why it had been so difficult to drive my car home once, when I had completely run out of petrol. The penny dropped, for me - without petrol, cars really are pretty much impossible to drive. I feel cheated. If only I'd had a skateboard with me, that 20-mile journey would have taken no time!

You can see some pictures of this valuable demonstration here (note the attendant large crowds surging, just out of camera shot).

And to think - there might be one or two even more incredible and educational things happening in 2013!
