It’s nice to have furniture that’s kind to the planet, as well as being pleasing to the eye. This chair by Whit McLeod is made from recycled 70 gallon oak wine barrels. It folds down into a slight, but perfect curve, with each individual slat fitting seamlessly with the next. Each chair has the vineyard’s name branded on the underside, so you know exactly where your chairs have come from.

Lola Rose soy candle
Lola Rose, one of the UK’s leading jewellery
labels, who have brought out a beautiful range of soya candles. Now if you look at their pink and fluffy website, you might wonder why I, a man, would be perusing such a product page, but I have you know that my intentions are sound. This would make a brilliant little gift for your wife, girlfriend or other suitable person of pink and fluffy nature. Apart from being funky and pretty, this candle is kind to the environment as it is made from renewable soy, and is kind to your environment since it doesn’t emit carcinogens.

RSPB fear proposed Planning reforms will damage wildlife
A new Planning White Paper will be presented to parliament today which could spell disaster for wildlife in England. It proposes limiting objections to major developments, which effectively means that anyone opposing schemes like the enlargement of Lydd Airport, which is threatening the RSPB reserve in Dungeness, Kent, may not receive a fair hearing before a final decision is made

Grow your own veg the easy way
Recently my partner and I have been thinking (well actually dreaming) or moving to the countryside and when we do it would be nice if we could grow our own fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately we are both very lazy when it comes to lawn sprucing and complete garden novices, so to help us out I am planning to purchase Let’s Grow Veg magazine.

Graig Farm Organics local hardwood charcoal
Barbecue season is upon us yet again, but before you grab your striped apron and tongs spare a thought for the world’s tropical forests. They are being stripped of their precious trees in order for us to cook our chicken drumsticks in the great outdoors. In the UK only a tiny 3% of charcoal bought is sustainable,

If you have cleaned them with a chemical based product, then you may have left chemical residues, which may end up on your healthy food, which pretty much negates the point of organic produce.

Clean, crisp and organic — how bed-linen should be
We all spend a great deal of our lives in bed, so it makes sense for us to be surrounded by the most natural materials rather than a cocktail of chemicals. Unfortunately, cotton is one of the most heavily sprayed crops, with both insecticides and pesticides. That’s why organic really is best when it comes to sheets, pillows and duvets. The thing about organic is, it not only protects the planet, but, it is much better for us too.
