Clear Zones
 http://www.clearzones.org.uk/



 According to the website, "...a Clear Zone seeks to provide a liveable, accessible and lively urban centre where traffic congestion, pollution, noise, stress and other negative impacts of mobility are eliminated or limited, through the implementation of a package of transport related measures using innovative technologies". The site is easy to use, attractively designed, nicely illustrated and up to date. It is also packed with useful information about Clear Zone policies, technologies and initiatives, as well as details of funding sources, news and events, links and publications. Awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 20 Jun 2006].

Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS)
 http://www.emas.org.uk/



EMAS is a voluntary initiative aiming "to recognise and reward those organisations that go beyond minimum legal compliance and continuously improve their environmental performance". The initiative was initially established by European Regulation 1836/93, although this has been replaced by Council Regulation 761/01. The site includes registration information, guidance documents, and the UK and European EMAS registers. The site also offers a searchable database with information on UK organisations that have achieved UKAS accredited certification to ISO 14001 (the International Standard Organisation's environmental management system specification). [GAS, 20 Jun 2006].
