  2. Packaging Issues

    Written by Clare Topping on 10th Feb 2011.

    Extra packaging, confusing packaging symbols – why did I start looking! Now I face a dilemma – buy a cereal with too much packaging or one where the oats are from an unspecified origin!

  3. First Steps

    Written by Clare Topping on 27th Nov 2010.

    Sometimes it is difficult to make a start on any of the projects that start to pile up, but sometimes it is all about making some of the smaller, easy steps to start gaining some traction. In the space of just a couple of weeks we have managed to put just two recycling schemes in place at work.

  5. Waste – who is responsible?

  8. Fish & Chip Shop Dilemma

    Written by Clare Topping on 25th Jan 2010.

    So, is it possible to have a guilt free portion of fish and chips? I am afraid that it all depends where the fish comes from, how it is caught and how vocal your conscience is.

    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.

  10. Baby Steps

    Written by Clare Topping on 15th Oct 2009.

    Whatever level we are currently at, there is always something we can do to reduce our effect on the planet, small steps can make a huge difference when added together. And, if we take those habits to work, we can influence those around and above us, we all have so much potential to make a difference.
