To borrow a leaf from the Global voices Sub Saharan Editor's post on cyber-activism in the aftermath of the elections in Kenya; we take a look at how environmental bloggers and activists are using web 2.0 tools to bring attention to issues ranging from deforestation, conservation and global warming, and the Web 2.0 tools being used to share information, photos, videos and raise funds. Mashups From Ghacks, we are directed to two environmental mashups.
The first is Terrapass, which helps calculate CO2 emissions from airplane travel. TerraPass helps you calculate your carbon footprint, learn how to reduce it, and balance it out through the purchase of verified carbon offsets.

The second is Floodmaps With talk about sea level rising it is important to get a visual idea of what would happen if the sea level would rise for a certain amount of meters.
