Weekly Green Web

Awesomeness on the web this week includes:

• Mashing statistics and art is Seattle-based Chris Jordan, who has produced these amazing and profoundly depressing visualisations of the resources we use and the waste we produce.
• Cycling can be bad for your health in a spontaneous combustion kind of way.
• John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, wants to sue Al Gore for fraud over climate change.
• Two absurdly healthy outward bound types are about to begin walking the entire length of the Amazon river (the first people to do so, appearently) to document "the different experiences and opinions of the people that live and work in the Amazon rainforest", as well as raising awareness about climate change.
• A slideshow of stunning images from the new book, Fragile Earth, was the Guardian's most popular web page for a couple of days this week.

The week's best green stuff on the web, just in time for your afternoon tea and cake break:

• As the anaerobic digester plotline gathers pace on The Archers, the BBC website provides a handy guide for biogas fans.
• Oh, and in last week's web poll on The Archers website, 75.1 per cent said yes, Ruth and David were wise to be involved with the anaerobic digester. (That's everything from Ambridge, I promise. For now, at least.)
• But more from the BBC: World on the Move employs Google Maps in a rather funky way to track great animal migrations across the globe.
• Climate change is now a fashion as well as an environmental phenomenon because, look, Diesel have a new campaign with the tagline 'Global warming ready'. And here's the video. Tongue-in-cheek or dispicable trivialisation? Discuss. (Thanks again to Osocio for the tip.)
• And a plug for Action Aid's excellent Who Pays? campaign, getting regulations to make sure supermarkets don't exploit workers in developing countries. Watch mine and then make your own.
• Finally, the real answer to global warming.

If you're looking for some web-based wonders to inform, entertain or inspire, here's what's caught our collective eyes recently:

• The Story of Stuff has been doing the rounds since before Christmas but Annie Leonard's occasionally breathless but totally brilliant film about resources, consumption and consumerism is worth mentioning again.According to Annie, natural resources in the developing world are seen as "our stuff that got on somebody else's land".
• Another oldie-but-goodie is Breathing Earth, a global map that shows when someone is either born or dies, plus the CO2 emissions from each country. In real time. Be afraid, be very afraid.
• It looks like video, but apparently this evocative climate change film is composed entirely of still images by Toronto Star photographer Lucas Oleniuk
• So popular they had to get bigger servers, this video shows what happened when 200-plus people stopped moving in New York's Grand Central Station. It's not really green but it's really cool.
