LONDON, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Bury FC fans are currently the most environmentally friendly supporters in the country by taking the top spot in FA Cup sponsor E.ON's 'Carbon League' table. Supporters of the League Two club top the table after saving the most carbon emissions per fan than any other team this season.

The 'Carbon League' table forms part of E.ON's season-long carbonfootyprint.com campaign - an initiative designed to reduce the environmental impact of The FA Cup. Since the First Round of the Cup in November 2007, football fans across the country have been pledging to make simple energy saving measures to offset the 45,000 tonnes of CO2 produced by the competition. So far over 50,000 pledges have been made by football fans.

It is day four of our holiday, with two days driving up from Vancouver to Cache Creek, past the Eocene insect and plant site at McAbee, the well-bedded Permian limestone near Marble Canyon and onto Bowron Provincial Park, a geologic gem near the gold rush town of Barkerville.

The initial draw for me, given that collecting in a provincial park is forbidden and all collecting close at hand outside the park appears to amount to a handful of crushed crinoid bits and a few conodonts, was the gorgeous natural scenery and a broad range of species extant.
