Thorny's first trip of 2007 was to Australia with Liz and her husband Pete. She had a wonderful time.

Thorny has been learning about climate change.  She knows that when you fly, drive or heat your home carbon dioxide is given off and your are adding to global warming.  This is called your carbon footprint.  Thorny has decided that she will calculate her carbon footprint is.  Adding up all these journeys it was .65 tonnes in 2006, not too bad.   However, having been to Australia she already has a carbon footprint for 2007 of 5.61 tonnes (AND she has been too Japan too, not yet on the site!)

When she isn't traveling, Thorny lives in the Field Centre office, either on the filing cabinets or on Sarah's printer.  If you come to see us on a school trip come and say hello to her.
