Synopsis
What the environmental movement really needs is a hard-travelling, blissfully ignorant comedian with no credibility whatsoever to talk on serious issues. No seriously. On the principle of 'go on, do it, I will' non-expert Mark Watson set up a blog announcing his intentions to halve his carbon footprint in a year. Within 24 hours, 500 had joined him. This is the story of the year that followed, when one environmental novice, green you could say in all senses of the word, tried to save the planet.

À propos de l?auteur
A former Cambridge Footlighter, Mark Watson first made an impact on the comedy circuit in 2002 when he won the Daily Telegraph Open Mic competition and was a runner-up in 'So You Think You're Funny?' He has become known for his Edinburgh shows (2005's 50 Years Before Death And The Awful Prospect Of Enternity was nominated for the Perrier) and his gruelling shows that last more than 24 hours. Perrier's successor, the if.comeddies, awarded the panel award for best capturing the spirit of the fringe, in 2007. Watson won the Chortle award winner for innovation in 2005, when he was also nominated for best breakthrough act, and was nominated for best compere in 2007. He is also a novelist, with his debut Bullet Points, published in 2003; has written for TV and in 2007 landed his first radio series, Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better.
