    Food waste solutions

    Exactly! It is not just starvation that better methods of food storage can play a part, but here in the UK, think of the money schools, councils and hospitals could save just by having a Fresh Pod in their canteen fridges and fruit bowls!

    Food waste solutions

    That is food that is brought by people and then never eaten. It is something crazy like 60% of all the salad items we buy we throw away untouched. It is there where ethylene control is so important as it preserves that food for long enough for people to get around the eating it!

    Greener Heating for business?

    I wasn't suggesting it as a fail-safe solution, allowing you to turn off all other heating. There are certainly some issues, but there are definitely ranges of clothing which would do the job cost-effectively. Materials like Flectalon are ideal and can be branded too :)

    Is anybody using Google+ ?

    I have had a quick play with it, but to me it is essentially Facebook with circles. I never check it unless I happen to notice a notification (are they called that on there?) when on Gmail.

    Top 20 Must Have Green Gadgets

    For me, as I have explained in other posts it has to be Fresh Pod from the Enviro-Pod range. Saves the environment, lowers my carbon footprint and saves me enough money for a family holiday each year. Not bad for a little green pod that just sits in the firdge! :D

    Greener Heating for business?

    Insulation etc are all excellent suggestions, but why not look into supplying all your staff with clothes that exhibit superior thermal insulation properties? It won't solve the problem but would probably shave a couple of degrees of the required room temperature - in turn saving potentially...

    Food waste solutions

    It is shocking. I read a report from WRAP that it equates to about 6.7 million tonnes every year which goes straight to landfill. Pigs and Labradors are one solution but they do not get to the root (no pun intended :)) of the problem, which is that we buy too much food and then don't get round...

    Food waste solutions

    Recycling is one thing, but we also need to cut the amount of food we waste. The carbon footprint of food stuffs, which are produced, distributed, packaged, purchased and then left in fridges and fruit bowls to just rot away is ridiculous. In the UK alone, the average household throws away...

    What are your tips for a green office?

    I agree that the best way is to offer incentives to energy savings rather than imposing rules and regulations. Competition is a great way to inspire staff to come up with new ideas, products and plans.
