  2. Waste – who is responsible?

    Written by Clare Topping on 28th Jun 2010.

    Retailers are asking for government policy to reduce packaging, but I thought that more power resided in the corporate world to bring about change, than in Whitehall.

    Written by Clare Topping on 7th Jun 2010.

  7. Flat Fish

    Written by Clare Topping on 6th Feb 2010.

    In the latest attempt to find sustainable fish I look at two favourites, plaice and sole – once more there is good and bad news, but as ever you will need to be selective.

  8. Thoughts about Copenhagen and Kyoto.

    Written by Clare Topping on 3rd Jan 2010.

    Now that the hype of Copenhagen is over, it is time to start doing what we can to make the world a better place. Copenagen and Kyoto were all words and no action, we need to do what we believe to be the right thing.

  9. Government can’t provide the solution

    Written by James Whinfrey on 22nd Dec 2009.

    I’m not normally given to naivety and unrealistic bouts of optimism, but last week I discovered to my surprise that I genuinely expected some positive agreement on climate change from the Copenhagen summit. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those campaigners on the TV, or that pour forth tweets, and I haven’t been glued to the news from Denmark, but at the end of the conference I have to admit to feeling a little deflated.
