    Title Small business owners - do you feel underserved?

    I'm not entirely sure I understand either. But, if you can create something where Google is not the dominant search tool, that might be worth looking at. The American business culture where big business must be better than small business - perhaps you could turn that on its head. Quality not...

    Do UK businesses positively look for eco-friendly supplies or is that a myth?

    OK everyone, I think that's the end of the conversation if not the debate. Thanks again to everyone and I'll sign off now. Robert

    Oh I see, I missed this one, sorry, you've answered my question.

    OK, I'll give a point for that one Ian. But would you consider a wooden sign if the situation arose? The person from The Byre is interesting don't you think?

    Again I bow to your obvious superior knowledge The Byre or is it Daz?. So, is your conclusion that we're all damned anyway, so why bother. Or just try and do one's own bit based on the knowledge shared by people like your good self, and hope for the best.

    Well, you could compost it, if you want to go the whole mile. Or if you have a log burner at home, you could burn it for heat instead of putting that electric heat source pump on.

    Hello Nick, If the wooden sign is inside your reception area, then it could last as long as the aluminium one. If it's outside in all weathers, then a wooden one will last say 15 years. I'm guessing most companies would renew a sign like this more often than 15 years what ever it's made from...

    OK, I guess we'd better keep going. I know nothing about motorsport or electric cars other than to me, if you don't have your existing car scrapped, no matter its value, you're simply adding to the problem.

    Shall we stop now? Or does anyone want to continue? Thanks again to everybody involved.

    I can see, unlike me, you're an expert and I'm grateful you took the time to write your post. I'll read your book.

    Thank you Mark, your advice is sound too. I thought my original question wasn't all that controversial - got that wrong too! Robert

    Do UK businesses positively look for eco-friendly supplies or is that a myth?

    Well, I can see you would be a hard nut to crack, but yes wood needs maintenance, not all that regular though. Heresy to put a film over it. I doubt it would be more expensive. And natural wood means it has not been processed into a sheet material. I wood say that a wooden board from a properly...

    Again you've a good point here. I'm not defending house building, merely wondering if there is an angle to the use of wood that will make you consider using it? But to answer your question I make somethings that you would say are elitist, garden sculpture for example. But I mainly make wooden...

    Do UK businesses positively look for eco-friendly supplies or is that a myth?

    Well, you're right there, but I can't help thinking people are judging the subject by the standards of very large business. Car manufacturers surely can't be truly green under any circumstances. So do we just give up because marketing gurus have manipulated the truth. As you say, planting a...

    Do UK businesses positively look for eco-friendly supplies or is that a myth?

    I don't disagree with you, the world is over populated, can't argue with that. But are you making an assumption that everything marketed as eco-friendly is green wash? Use less and cut out waste is also sound advice. I'm grateful to everyone on this feed, the distrust of the phrase...
