Dumped: Landfill Residents

An interesting bus-stop poster I spotted on the way to the gym at lunchtime.

Check out the forthcoming C4 show 'Dumped'. Some volunteers try and live off a landfill waste for 3 weeks.

Get Green Energy!

Are you thinking about changing your energy supplier for a greener alternative but don't know where to look? Well you could do worse than check out Powergen which has a Go Green Option.


100% renewable electricity and carbon dioxide offsetting! There are other incentives such as extra Tesco Clubpoints as well. I'm not sure if these guys are the best for green energy, but it's nice to see the bigger companies stepping up to the plate and offering these new alternatives!

London Aquarium

Last week I popped into the London Aquarium on a sweltering day in London. I really enjoyed it!

It had some great stories about pollution in London's river Thames, and about ocean over-fishing, waste management and also the unusual items fished out of the capital's river!

I was also pleased to find out that 42.5p of every ticket will go directly to conservation & research initiatives.
