Shopping Confusion
Food Glorious Food

We should have known. From the moment Food, Glorious Food became the Food Industry, alarm bells should have started ringing. Like any other industry, say, the Film Industry, we should have anticipated the upheaval. The scams, the scandals, the marketing, the scares. Gimmicks, hypes, propaganda and the backlash of the media. It's almost worrying the paparazzi aren't involved!

Hadlow Going Green
Upwardly Greening Up
Pat Crawford
Friday, January 1st, 2010
‘Going green' is extending into new and unusual situations. In pursuance of ‘urban agriculture', people living in cities and towns have been encouraged to give serious consideration to installing a kitchen garden on balconies, flat roofs and other suitable high spaces. This initiative should be seen in light with statisticians' predictions suggesting that cities are more likely than rural areas to suffer the effects of any future food shortages. Now ‘greening up' is extending rapidly into country towns and villages - but not necessarily in order to produce food!

Smart Meters and Electricity Monitors

The first step in cutting your energy consumption, your electricity bills, and your carbon footprint is to find out how much electricity you're currently using. A home energy monitor (also called a smart meter) will show you in real time how much you're using, and the effect of tunring things on and off.

Whether you prefer the stylish Wattson, a functional smart meter like the OWL or Efergy, or to track individual appliances using the Ecosaver, Nigels Eco Store have the meter for you.

Indoor environment more polluted than outdoor!

Monday, September 1st, 2008
Leading indoor plant Company Leaf-it-At-Home confirms that plants clean indoor pollution, reduce stress and stimulate creativity.

A report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)[1] estimates that the indoor environment may be two to five times and in some cases as high as 100 times more polluted than the outdoor air. The likes of computers, wi-fi and electrical goods used in workplaces across the country give off by-products from their electrical energy and continued exposure can lead to physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, sore eyes and sore throats.

A Crude Awakening

What does this mean to you and me? To be honest when I was invited to hear speakers on the topic of 'Peak Oil' I wasn't totally sure what it was all about or how it would affect my day to day life. Oil, along with natural gas and coal are classed as non renewable sources and as we continue to consume huge quantities, new sources are becoming harder to find and generally speaking, field sizes are declining or increasingly difficult to mine.

'Greener paint'... or is it?
Sunday, April 1st, 2007
There's something extremely satisfying about painting a wall, and then another one, and then the whole room. But as you beaver away, lovingly transforming your immediate environment, do you spare a thought for the impact you may be having on the wider environment? And do you wonder, too, if that gloopy, malodorous mixture you are using might damage your health, or that of your family?
