LITTLE do's make the world go round- Lots of little do's make big do's. Doing m akes things bette: Wash at 30, turn the tap off when

Early prototypes resembled washing machines on legs that couldn't balance and fell over. But after approaching 25 years of doing we now have ASIMO - the most advanced humanoid robot in the world - which can run, talk, climb stairs, kick a football and recognise faces. Lots of little do's, lots of trial and aror, resulting in a huge develop ment for society. But the doing is not done yet. One of the biggest challenges we
you brush your teeth, dont leave the TV on standby, turn the heating down a degree or
twa..you know the kind of thing. Small steps add up to big change. Back in 1986, Honda revealed the
face as a society is how we get around this little planet of ours. Honda's ulti mate 'do' hae is a car that emits noth- ing but water. Decades of doing makes this more possible every day; with the PCX Clarity - powered by hydrogen and emitting nothing but pure H20 - being driven in limited numbers on the streets of California today. There's plenty more to do to makp this car a maas market reality. The hydrogen refuelling infrastruc ture isnt in place, the car is still costly to produce and the production of the

tion of a petrol engine and a battery i t improves fuel consumption and reduces CC2 emissions by around 30 per cent compared to a similar sized petrol car. It also features an ingen ious system called Eco Assist, part of which helps the driver to drive more economically, rewarding him along the way. Another little do which breeds further doing. And as the most affordable Hybrid in the UK, more and more people can now afford to do
their bit. Honda's history of doing stretches

hydrogen is not yet carbon neutral. But Honda and many others in the industry are determined to keep doing, and few would disagree that our children and their children will be getting about in such a car in years to come. The thing about doing is how long
all these do's take. So along the way we need stepping stones - stop gaps - smaller but stUl hugely significant do's which make a difference now. Take Honda's recently launched Insight Hybrid car. Uang a combina
back decades. More than 50 years ago the company's founder said "after materials are carried into the factory, nothing but products should be car ried out". Today, Honda's UK car plant in Swindon recycles around 96 per cent of all waste generated and only sends 6kg of waste per car to landfill, compared to 71kg in 1994. Lots of doing to work towards the big do of zero waste to landfill by 2010 - a target hit in Honda's Japanese plants in 2000 - through such genius as recycling incineration ash to make cement. The doing goes on and on, lots of
little steps in the right direction. Fancy doing your bit? Honda (UK) has recently teamed
up with the UK wide database of vol unteering opportunities - provided by
do-it.org.uk in partnership with the Volunteer Centre network. It match es volunteers to environmental proj ects looking for support. To find out more, visit the web site in the adver tisement below and get doing!

www.clitheroeadvertiser.co.uk Valley’s tourist treasures
MEMBERS of the Ribble Valley Tourism Associa tion have recently been sampling the visitor expe rience a t two of the dis trict’s top historic attrac
tions. The summer RVTA mem
bers’ meeting was held at Stonyhurst College, once a Jesuit college, now one of the finest boarding and day schools in the country. Prior to the guided tour
around Stonyhurst, Marianne Hyde, of “Precious”, a t Whalley, was invited to give advice to fellow members on how retail businesses can also attract tourists. Marianne explained, using
examples from her own busi ness, how loyalty schemes, fresh and up-to-date window displays and keeping afresh with the area’s events and activities helps her to gain commercial advantage and be able to offer a quality cus tomer service. This was extremely insight
ful as more and more of the new RVTA members are join ing from retail businesses or perhaps diversifying in this
way. Just days later, Ribble Val
ley members were invited to an exclusive familiarisation tour of Ciitheroe Castle and Museum, which was organ ised for the RVTA in conjunc tion with Ribble Valley Bor ough Council’s tourism department and the Lan-

cashire County Museum Ser vice, who manage the muse um on the council’s behalf. Now re-opened after a £3.5m. makeover, the museum stands high on Castle Hill, in the shadow of the Castle Keep, an image th a t has dominated Clitheroe's skyline for more than 800 years. It is the dis tr ic t’s newest all weather attraction, which received support from the RVTA in its early stages of the project when the association con tributed towards the £500 Challenge, an initiative aimed at raising funds for the Castle re-development. The invitation, which was
extended to Lancaster and Wyre district tourism associ ations, allowed members to explore the new interactive
galleries, collections and dis plays, which reveal amazing stories and take you on a jour ney through 350 million years of history. Some members even braved
the climb up to the top of the Castle Keep, to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Ciitheroe and Ribble Valley. The new exhibition, on dis
play in the Stewards Gallery, from Saturday, is called “Fac ing North” and runs until October 10th. I t illustrates a selection of the talent and diversity of northern artists showcasing their work and how they see themselves. Afterwards, to satisfy any
hearty appetite, guests were treated to a ta s te of the attraction’s Caffetessen restaurant with a delicious
buffet featuring a wide selec tion of ta s ty morsels from locally sourced produce. The next RVTA meeting
win be held at Oakhill Acade my on Wednesday, September 30th, at 2 p.m. If you operate a tourism
related business and are inter ested in joining the RVTA, please go along to the meeting or contact Valerie Jackson on 01282 680573. Pictured: (From left to
