Men in dark suits. Sounds like a Men-in-Black movie convention. In some instances I wish that were the case. No, this is typically the majority of the attendees at “work-related” drinks parties that I have attended in London over the years. I suppose that is not to be unexpected given that I am a…

South Korea’s food waste reduction plans are pretty inspiring. Starting with an eco-friendly urban farm last year, they’ve now developed a system which turns food waste into fertiliser. It’s such a simple concept, yet even seemingly simple concepts need great people to push ideas through to…
We’ve found some great tips here on how to save energy and money in your own home. Many are incredibly simple - for example, you probably already know that LED lights use less energy, but did you know that they are 25% - 30% more energy efficient than traditional lightbulbs, and last 15-25 times…
