The Age of Stupid
Stop press: Stupid DVD released in America. Buy it from us (ageofstupid.net/shop) for brownie points - cos we get all the cash - or from Amazon etc for money-saving (in which case maybe buy it second-hand to save the production of more shiny discs?). Or skip the discs altogether and download it direct from our site (ageofstupid.net/download)

The Age of Stupid
Less than a month to go till the mighty "Global Day of Doing" on 10:10:10 and a bunch of cycling sumo wrestlers are the latest of more than 2200 groups to sign up from 145 countries. Fancy a little carbon cutting community action on Sunday 10th October yourself? Join an existing "work party" or set up your own... bike repair workshops, solar panel installing, low carbon lunching, veggie patch digging... it's all happening
