Cbeebies Goes Green: Tommy Zoom

I have a wonderful two and a third year old son (Hi Coby!!!) and once in a while he gets to watch some TV. Mostly we restrict him to purely educational shows (animals, nature, numbers etc) which mostly means CBeebies. One show is so cool I just had to blog about it.

Tommy Zoom is the story of Tommy and his dog Daniel and their adventures battling the naughty Polluto and his cat Smogg. The show uses live action and animation to help illustrate the small choices we all make each day and the impact they have and ultimately the small choices we can choose to do that make a difference to solve those problems.

Tommy Zoom does a great job of turning complex issues into fun educational story lines to get those little ones aware from an early age.

Cheers

Al Gore Gets Current

Al Gore is a bit like marmite: you either love him or hate him. He nearly became President, won an oscar for 'An Inconvenient Truth' and was behind the recent Live Earth event. One thing not focused on nearly enough in the media is his new initiative to democratise media: Current TV. Stephen Armstrong at Sublime magazine recently interviewed Al Gore about his current activities and Sublime have kindly allowed us to reproduce the article. Enjoy.
