Funding
How does a project like this get funded? I can fund a couple of months off work to get it going, but where does it go from there? I'd really like to avoid having to advertise on the site, apart from perhaps the odd affiliate link, but if it has to be that way in the end then so be it. Either way, until the site starts getting a lot of traffic, that isn't going to generate any substantial income anyway. How, then, do I carry on hosting and developing the site when my money runs out? It seems to me like there should be someone out there funding innovative approaches to carbon footprint reduction, but I've not found them yet. I'm spending a lot of time on the phone at the moment trying to find out, but if anyone knows any sources of funding for projects such as this one, please let me know...

Hey James, just discovered your site; looks great. Funding for stuff like this is tricky, the govt's only just starting to get into it. Have you tried the RSA? Their CarbonLimited project may end up channelling some monies to worthy projects (www.rsacarbonlimited.org). Also, have you come across the CRAGs (Carbon Rationing Action Groups)? I'm involved and think what you're doing with the Carbon Diet could be perfect for supporting communities of people keen to reduce their carbon footprints. If you're interested, please do email me, guy dot shrubsole at gmail dot com, to discuss this further. Cheers!
