Good news! Last year, masses of you emailed ASDA and Morrisons telling them to sort out their seafood policy. Some of you even stood outside their supermarkets to make the point. Well, they got the message.

Seven out of nine of the major chains - including ASDA and Morrisons - have made serious commitments to sustainable fishing practices, and supermarkets are now leading a revolution that's transforming the whole fishing industry. It's pretty astonishing when you consider that, last year, only Marks and Spencers and Waitrose had any real sustainable seafood policy at all. Check our new supermarket league table for details.

But (there had to be a but) there's still a lot of destructively-fished seafood on supermarket shelves. We're calling on all supermarkets to take immediate action to ban beam trawled species. To make the point, we took a load of bycatch to Trafalgar Square to show the world how many sea critters are needlessly killed in a single beam trawling expedition.

Our cyberactivists (that's you) have worked towards some brilliant successes over the past year. Thousands of you told McDonalds' to stop trashing the Amazon; McDonalds' is now leading a campaign to protect the Amazon. You told supermarkets to sort out their sea food; supermarkets are now working to transform the fishing industry.

We know that cyber-activism works, and we want to make it work better. We want to make all manner of changes to the website and the emails we send you but we'd like to hear your thoughts before we get started.

It's a survey. It's multiple choice, it will take about 10 minutes and it will really really help us campaign more effectively. Go on...

You couldn't make it up. After having been exposed no less than three times already for using illegal timber in their building projects, Tony Blair's government has done it again.

Wood ripped from the rainforests of Papua New Guinea is being used by the government to protect the floors and walls of Parliament during rebuilding work. That's right - ancient tropical hardwood is being used to make the plywood that will probably end up in skips in a few weeks' time.

The government accounts for 20 per cent of all timber used in this country and this latest gaffe comes as the Cabinet Office finally admits the plywood used around Admiralty Arch was also poorly sourced. We know it's painful having to repeat yourself so many times but help us to remind Blair: it's the rainforest that needs protecting, not the corridors of power.
