NewswireToday - /newswire/ - London, United Kingdom, 03/10/2006 - Gaiaoo’s objective is to help the environment by reducing the amount of distance people, food and goods need to travel through communicating local alternatives.

A seemingly innocuous website called Gaiaoo could be part of the answer to help resolve the Global Warming and the Energy Crisis. The site is deliberately named after the Gaia theory which has been making people realise that changes in our environment are taking place as a result of human activity.

Gaiaoo’s objective is to reduce the amount of distance people, food and goods need to travel. It is a resource which enables members of the public to publish information and news relating to their town and the local area in which they live, such as car sharing, locally sourced food from farmers, second hand goods available locally and recycling.

It is generally accepted that we are a wasteful society and this is partly due to lack of choice. What Gaiaoo does is provides the technology which will enable individuals to be informed of a local alternative. If you have access to the Internet then this service is free.

There have been various proposals put forward to the Gaia issue by leading academics from increasing the number of nuclear power stations to colonisation of the moon, all of which require huge investments and will take a long time to implement. Gaiaoo is a solution that is available now and accessible to all that is easy to use and has the potential, if widely adopted, to help achieve a sustainable future.

The savings that Gaiaoo would make to the environment cannot be calculated. But we can predict that if we all reduce the distance travelled for products, services and food it will make a significant contribution.

What you can do to help the environment is to visit Gaiaoo and register your interest in supporting this initiative. This will cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time.
