Seems very sensible – I’m amazed that the clocks are not already set to maximize day light around 9-5…

There’s a new global art project out there using eco friendly Italian designer trainers (sneakers for our lovely readers in the USA!)… want to hear some more? We did too…

Aliveshoes is a project demonstrating that fashion, art and an environmentally-friendly consciousness are not mutually [...]

Perhaps you grow your organic vegetables, and like myself, have great pride in the fact you can prepare a meal without a visit to the super market, you use biodiesel in your car and re use and repair everything you can.

Well I’ve heard it can happen – in the longer events people do sometimes have to stop – in Ironman triathlons that take around half a day to complete there are toilets by the road sides. I think the best thing to do is obviously to try and go prior to running… some people drink [...]

There’s only one thing better than being at the Green Man, and that’s playing at the Green Man!

But yeah, as with any new (ish) technology, there will always be people looking to make a quick buck before regulations become tighter – I’m currently looking at incorporating renewable energy into my home and solar thermal seems the [...]

About to head to the mountains and go camping for the weekend for some much needed R&R. Laura is wanting to climb a mountain, so we’ll need plenty of time to get down before dark.

Recently voted the most popular animal in the world, just ahead of dogs, it seems tigers are proving too popular for their own good.

More Tigers live in India than anywhere else in the world – out of just 3500 living wild, as many as 1400 [...]
