Save the environment and the economy TODAY!
|
|
Why not do both at the same time... Spanish rings have come up with a solution that saves both the environmental and the economy at the same time... Bring a little bit of Spain into your garden... then you can stay at home, save the environment and a ton of cash, spend the money you save with local businesses... spanishrings.com, your local garden centres, wine merchants and a bloke I know in the barbeque space, the Cook’s Friend company. I, Jon Davey, woke up this morning, turned on the BBC (as the kids weren’t up yet!) and heard that we peasants would have to save more of our own emissions as BA and other airlines, assuming they are solvent, will need to use our climate credits to balance increased flights for the rich and famous. They’d failed to mention that Katie Price has already earmarked Jordan’s oil supply for the next 20 years to fly her and her 100 bags around the planet to get her nails done! The rest of us have to stop driving to work and get on our bikes or ELSE we'll get fined! This amused, saddened and angered me all at the same time... cheeky b’tards... we’re all trying to scratch a living to pay our bills never mind going on holiday or flying off in a private jet to buy a pound of environmental, carbon neutral, green rice from a field in India! These people are not on the same planet as most of us but I have come up with a solution and used this story to enable me to push a couple of UK businesses to the fore... Firstly, Spanishrings.com is run by Steve Bridger, top bloke and inventor of his very own products... one of which won an award back in 2004... Water Rings won the Silver Award in the Best Environmental & Conservation category in the 2004 UK National Gardening Awards. These awards are decided by the votes of gardeners, not by a judging panel. Check out the video below and the others further down the page: Also, The Cook’s Friend Company is run by Keith Steptoe, he too is an inventor, coming up with the HandyMitts to help you when you are having a barbeque!
Go check out the HandyMitts in action on a bit of webspace we created for him which now drives 50% of all his online sales... we are not just a pretty face!! Please read the BBC and Guardian takes on the story and then make your own mind up... review more videos from Spanish Rings below... If you are reading this story it is probably because you’ve found it on the web, it may have been delivered to your inbox via Google alerts or other means... Jon Davey is the bloke who made that bit happen, another UK business who could do with a little support from his friends!! If you need some online marketing or social media help, then give him a call. Thank you. Planes 'to reset climate targets' By Roger Harrabin BBC Environment Analyst The UK may have to cut emissions of greenhouse gases by 90% by 2050 so the aviation sector can continue to grow. That is the warning from the government's official climate advisers, the Climate Change Committee (CCC). Read full story below... Planes “to reset climate targets” Cost of air travel 'must rise to deter people from flying' Government advisory body on climate change says ticket prices should rise to ensure that CO2 emissions fall back to 2005 levels David Batty and Caroline Davies report in the Guardian The cost of air travel must rise to an extent that it deters people from flying and to compensate developing countries for the damage it does to the environment, according to the government's advisory body on climate change.
