Cheating on climate

I was chatting to the guys from the Centre for Alternative Technology earlier today (they're running the Bluetooth Takeaway in our field at Glastonbury) about some videos we might film about what they're up to at the festival. It seems, however, that they're already video stars in their own right, having filmed and starred in their own production, Cheat Neutral.

I missed their stunt when it appeared in the news (and got a mention in parliament no less) and at first glance, it might not appear to be anything environmental or political, but after a while it dawns that it's a brilliantly simple analogy for the dubious nature of carbon offsetting. The video isn't on YouTube so I can't post it here but watch it at Scene Won (a video competition open to all if you're so inclined). Highly recommended.
