BBC Launch New Green Website - BBC Green
Everyone else has a green eco environmentally friendly save the planet-esque website, so it’s not surprise that The BBC has joined the throng with an imaginatively titled BBC Green website! It’s free to join (and if you register before the end of May you could win a trip to Paris by Eurostar) and contains the usual news and features on being eco-friendly, reducing your carbon footprint and learning how to be green.
BBC Green is not funded by the licence payer, and it shows as there’s big block adverts at every opportunity. These can be distracting and unsightly and this may put off users.
In terms of climate change news and issues there’s very little information. This is actually a good thing! The information provided is clear, easy to follow and useful without a doomsday scenario attached to emphasise why it’s a good idea to try and be less wasteful and more eco-aware.
There’s perhaps nothing spectacularly new at BBC Green but it’s early days and with The BBC behind the venture it should improve over time. Repositioning the adverts to be less intrusive would be a good start.
