Today I found out about CNet’s new eco site SmartPlanet.com. It’s got loads of interesting articles about what people and businesses are doing; News on green issues and organic, fair trade and low-carbon products.
My 3 top articles are;
- Eco bloggers bring the landfill home
- SmartPlanet looks forward to Estethica at London Fashion Week
- Photos: MiniCat, the car that runs on air
I especially liked the article on the American Ari Delfer that has kept all his rubbish for a whole year – he’s planning on making a SuperSizeMe style film about the experience – although presumably he’d have to start all over again?
One of my favourite places for online shopping is the Natural Collection website. They are perfect for Christmas and birthday gifts if you haven’t got much time and you want to avoid the highstreet. Before you get to the purchasing they also offer you the opportunity to donate to a number of charities in the same transaction.
They sell all sorts of home supplies plus great fair trade fashionable clothes and gorgeous health and beauty products. I bought all of my nappies there until I discovered the Nature Baby range in Sainsbury’s.
I particularly like their gadgets section. You can see what new innovations are out there to make everyday life just that little bit more green. Check out this gizmo that turns one newspaper into a log that will burn for one hour! Not sure if it’s smoke free though!
They have a sale on at the moment so get there quick!
I popped into Howies online to see what they had in the sale, and I saw this do-gooder t-shirt. It made me smile and I immediately thought of us and our blog. It is £12.50 in the sale for anybody who fancies it (while stocks last)!
