A month or so ago EJ helped sponsor Jane Thurnell-Read of Health and Goodness to do a cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats.  Jane raised £2,400 for Village Water in the process.  Read on for Jane’s account of the journey…

About 970 miles in 12 days
- Land’s End in the extreme SW of England to John O’Groats in
the extreme NE of Scotland. I came back tired but proud I’d
completed the trip and also in the process managed to raise over
£2400 for Village Water….

The first day was Lands
End to Liskeard, a mere 73 miles. The route took us past my house,
which was a very strange experience. John, my partner, rode with us
till lunch. I rode with 2 men, Tom and Steve, (as well as John) and
was delighted to discover that I was in the fast group at the front.
There were 12 other riders and 2 support crew with two vans.

The second day was
Liskeard to Sampford Peverell, 72 miles. It was raining when we left
Liskeard but eventually the sun did come out. Once again I rode with
Tom and Steve, enjoying being at the front again. I know it’s not a
race, but it still feels good to know I’m faster than so many
people who are a lot younger than me. We have two support crew and
one of them,Kenny, asked me my age in the evening. He nearly fell off
his bar stool when I told him!

3^rd
day once again I rode with the two “boys” Today it was Sampford
Peverell to Tintern and a longer day at 86 miles. There was a last
sweeping descent to Tintern itself and a sudden magnificent view of
the ruined abbey there – worth the hardship of the day for that
view. Rain in the evening, although it had been fine during the day.

Tintern to Shrewsbury for
the fourth day. 88 miles. Rode some of this on my own as I was tired
from the fast pace of the first three days, but I was still faster
than most people. Got lost round the one-way system in Shrewsbury
town centre but eventually found the hotel.

Shrewsbury to Preston (77
miles) was dire with riding on the A49 (especially the bit through
Warrington) being fairly challenging. Every traffic light seemed to
be against us, and then it started raining. I had a rain jacket with
me but even so I got wet and cold – glad to reach the end of the
day.

The 6^th
day brought Shrewsbury to Carlisle and Shap Hill. We were told how
bad this was, but I was second up and a bit surprised it hadn’t
been steeper. The weather started to come in, so Tom and I had a
quick lunch at the top of Shap Hill (provided as always by the
support people) and set off again. About a minute into this part of
the ride the heavens opened. A passing car aqua-planed on the road
but fortunately it had pulled right over to the other side to pass me
so I was not in any danger. Very quickly I left Tom behind and cycled
on feeling strong. Soon the rain stopped and the sun came out and I
enjoyed going fast and feeling good.

Day 7 was Carlisle to
Kilmarnock in Scotland. In theory 96 miles today, but Jason, the
other support guy, told me an alternative route to get to the hotel
and added 9 extra miles to my ride by mistake! A long day and I rode
most of it on my own, meeting up with some of the others at the 3
roadside breaks (mid-morning, lunch and mid-afternoon). At last we
were in Scotland I was beginning to appreciate just how far we’d
cycled.

Day 8 Kilmarnock to
Inverary was the day we travelled about 78 miles and used a ferry to
cross to Dunoon. A magical day with the sun shining and the route
taking us round the sides of some beautiful Scottish lochs. A slight
head wind for some of it but nothing like what was to come. (Looking
back after day 12 I wondered why I had complained about the head wind
on this day – it seemed like a gentle breeze by comparison.)

Day 9 was Inverary to
Invergarry – a longer day of 95 miles. I think it was on this day
that I walked up part of one very steep hill – the only time I did
it – but my legs felt very tired and I decided not to push myself.
Am I learning sense at last? More Scottish lochs and great scenery.

Day 10 Invergarry to Bonar
Bridge. 76 miles. I was really beginning to feel tired, but still
managing to enjoy the riding even so. That night three of us stayed
in a separate B&B as the hotel had not had room for us all. It
was a truly sumptuous place – I felt a bit nervous about my dirty
sweaty clothes. Next morning a great breakfast but we had to be on
the road so we couldn’t really relax and enjoy it to the full.

Day 11 Bonar Bridge to
Bettyhill. 55 miles – that now constitutes a short day! Some pretty
scenery and some rugged bare mountain wilderness. The east wind is
really beginning to blow. The second half of the afternoon we turned
into this cold head wind and it was time to grit the teeth and just
keep going. This was actually one of my favourite days. I love the
experience of cycling (when I’m really fit) and pitting myself
against the elements. Everyone else hated the day. When we got to the
hotel we were told the forecast had been for a 25 mile an hour wind.
“What about tomorrow?” we asked. “Oh worse – 25 mile an hour
winds, gusting to 40 miles an hour and a high chance of rain.”
Other cyclists laughed and asked me if I was going to enjoy the next
day as well!

Day 12 Bettyhill to John
O’Groats. Well, this was the toughest day of all even though it was
‘only’ 52 miles. The weather forecast was correct. The wind was
still in the east. We were going mainly east and occasionally turning
north. The wind was truly horrendous – you’d have to describe it
as a gail-force wind. My average speed on the other days had been
around 13.5 miles an hour with one day averaging over 15 miles an
hour. On this final day it was 9.1 miles an hour. The ride demanded
total concentration: if you stopped pedalling when you had the east
wind, the bike felt like it was about to go backwards. If you stopped
pedalling when riding north, the cross wind would almost blow you and
the bike across the road. The rain lashed at my face stinging it and
making it difficult to see. I enjoyed the first 20 miles but after
that it became a hard grind. About 2 miles from the destination I
eased up on the riding and spent a few minutes reflecting on the trip
and what I’d achieved.

The plan had been to have
a big celebration at John O’Groats, take photos and sign the
official end-to-enders book. Because of the weather conditions, we
didn’t do any of these so the only proof I have that I got there is
a certificate from the company who organised the trip.

Now I’m back at home,
resting a bit, catching up with work and friends and reminding myself
to eat less!

Thank you to all of you
for supporting me through donations to Village Water
(http://www.villagewater.org) and through your cards and good wishes.

The Warren Evans team is celebrating today after triumphing at
The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards 2009, one of the most coveted
green awards of the year.

The London-based bespoke bed and furniture maker was named
the 40th best green company in the UK, out of hundreds of entries,
beating off stiff competition from major retailers including Asda. It’s
not the first time that Warren Evans has triumphed in The Sunday Times Best
Green Companies Awards; it was also named as one of the top green companies in
the UK
in the 2008 awards.

The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards recognises
those businesses in the UK
most dedicated to environmental issues, implementing green initiatives and
engaging their workforces.

Zoe Robinson, Sustainable Development Manager at Warren
Evans, is delighted at the win. She says: “It’s fantastic to be
recognised for a second year running. It’s a great boost for our team and
our customers to have this independent recognition that we’re doing our
bit for the environment and are using working practices that are as sustainable
as possible.”

Sustainability has been at the heart of Warren Evans’
philosophy since the company was established over 30 years ago. And for the
past two years, the company has been working hard making measurable changes, adapting
the way in which it works to minimise the impact it has on the environment. As
such Warren Evans:

• is still the ONLY UK
  bed manufacturer to be officially certified by the FSC (Forest
  Stewardship Council). All beds and furniture are made using woods from
  renewable sources
• offers a fully organic and
  orthopaedic mattress range for those keen to avoid chemicals and man made
  materials
• avoids using packaging. They wrap
  beds and furniture in reusable blankets rather than using cardboards and
  plastics, minimising unnecessary waste
• has consulted Government green body
  ‘Envirowise’ and government funded service Business Link for
  practical advice on efficiencies such as workflow, machinery and gaining staff
  support
• moved the traditional Camden workshop to a new,
  self created, green and efficient work space in Walthamstow. With help from an
  interest-free loan by the Carbon Trust, they were able to make this super green
  by purchasing environmentally friendly equipment including a bio-mass boiler
  (that heats the entire building using waste wood and sawdust as fuel) and
  intelligent wood cutting machinery to minimise waste
• … they also use recycled pens,
  print leaflets and price lists on recycled paper and even use recycled envelopes
  made from elephant poo!
• and scooped a further two
  environmental awards last year, a BCE Award and an Observer Ethical Award,
  recognising its total dedication to the environment and to its customers.

The awards ceremony was held on Wednesday evening in Covent
Garden, London,
with Warren Evans receiving the prize from Alastair McCall (pictured above).

Warren Evans is also nominated in the Best Local Retailer
category in The Observer Ethical Awards 2009; the winners will be announced
next month.

Busting
the myths about sun protection – from Lucy Rose of www.lucyrose.biz

With a bit of luck Summer might be just
around the corner, and as we are collectively so passionate about a
natural and organic approach to our lifestyles, it’s a good job
that we can rely on some of the top organic beauty brands to provide
us with safe and effective SPF protection so that we can make the
most of the sun’s rays.

But understanding the array of sun
products that are available can be a tall order, even within the
organic sector. Especially when you take into account recent
recommended changes to labelling and to the ratio of UVA versus UVB
protection.

This is designed to be a
straightforward guide to unravelling some of the common myths,
misconceptions and complex science relating to sun care in the hope
that you will be able to relax safe in the knowledge that you are
slapping on the best protection for you and your family.

Read on to find out the facts!

• UVA or UVB?

UVA protection is more important in
preventing long term skin damage than UVB protection

UVA radiation penetrates deep under the
skin’s surface and is responsible for long-term cell damage
including premature ageing and skin cancer. UVB radiation causes sun
burn and therefore warns the body that it has been in the sun for too
long. It is really important to ensure that your sun lotion has
adequate UVA protection as well as UVB. New recommendations suggest
that the ratio of UVA to UVB protection should be 1:3.

• How effective are SPFs?

SPF 30 does not offer double the
protection of SPF 15

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor
and only measures the amount of UVB protection provided by a sun
screen (not UVA). So for example, an SPF 15 will protect you against
roughly 93% of UVB rays while an SPF 30 protects you against
approximately 97% UVB – you are therefore only achieving a marginal
increase in UVB protection with the higher SPFs. It is more
important to reapply the sun screen every 2-3 hours, or after
swimming or wiping with a towel, to provide effective protection from
the sun’s rays.

• Should I worry about nano
  particles?

Nano particles in 100% natural
mineral sunscreens are completely safe to use

Yes, organic sun lotions do contain
nano-particles which in synthetic products cause concern for two
reasons: they can penetrate the skin and enter the body and they can
cause the formation of free-radicals when exposed to UV light.
However, the good news is that for 100% natural mineral sunscreens,
the nano-particles are covered in a film which prevents them from
being exposed to UV light and once combined with the cream base, they
will also be unable to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin.

• Will I be safe in the shade or
  when it’s cloudy?

The sun’s rays can still be
damaging regardless of cloudy or shady conditions

Make sure you are protected from the
sun even if it’s cloudy or you are in the shade – up to 40% of
the sun’s rays can still break through even in shady conditions -
and the rays are just as strong through the cloud.

• What’s good for you

The right protection for you will
depend on your skin type, the strength of the sun, your age e.g.
adult, child or baby, the climate, the location e.g. in the sea, in
the desert or up mountains, the season and the time of day.

To be on the safe side, if in doubt,
wear protective clothing, avoid the sun or sun bathing at the hottest
times of the day and remember to keep applying a 100% natural sun
screen.

• Five good reasons to go natural

Natural mineral sunscreens work well
because

1. They act as a natural filter using
   mineral ingredients such as titanium dioxide

2. They begin to work immediately
   after application

3. The UVA and UVB rays are reflected
   rather than absorbed

4. They won’t cause any skin
   irritation

5. And last, but not least, they are
   waterproof.

If you’ve any further questions about
organic sun care, you can email/speak to the experts at Lucy Rose
(www.lucyrose.biz)
who provide an extensive selection of organic sun care products,
including Lavera and Green People, hand-picked because of their
authenticity, safety and effectiveness.

We hope that your overall enjoyment of
the sun will be enhanced by the comfort of knowing you are fully
protected by totally natural, organic and beautiful sun products. So
here’s to happy times in the sunshine and a long hot summer!

Eternal Creation is offering a 25% discount on full price items to Ethical Junction readers!! Enter EJ25 at checkout, valid till June 30th, www.eternalcreation.com

Eternal Creation’s gorgeous range of babies¹, childrens¹ and womens¹ wear is lovingly crafted and ethically produced in Dharamsala, in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas.

Conceived in 1999 by Australian designer Frances Carrington, Eternal Creation is committed to improving the working conditions and prospects for Tibetan refugees and local Indians.

Eternal Creation runs its own design and production workshop, employing over 75 people spanning Tibetan, Nepalese and Indian cultures, and mixing Buddhist, Hindu and Muslim faiths.

Rather than outsource to meet growing demand, they have recently increased the capacity of their workshop, providing more jobs for the local communityand ensuring high quality standards and ethical principles are maintained.  All fabric off-cuts are given to a local womens co-operative, who re-cycle them into rag rugs which are sold locally.

After graduating from the East Sydney institute of fashion design in 1994,
designer Frances Carrington registered with Australian Volunteers Abroad,
hoping to use her skills in a community in Africa. Instead she was sent to
India. She was put in charge of the fledgling tailoring department of the
Norbulingka Institute in Dharamsala, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan
Government in exile. Her job was to teach newly arrived Tibetan refugees the
finer points of tailoring and design. She oversaw the growth of the
department from 2 to 15 fulltime staff by the end of her stay.

Falling in love with Indian and Tibetan culture, not to mention the
fantastic landscape of the Himalayas, she determined that at the end of her
tenure she¹d find a way to use her skills to continue to benefit the local
community in some way.

In 1999, armed with a $5000 loan from her father she started Eternal
Creation, with the aim of producing quality womens¹ sleepwear and
accessories. The early days were difficult. Frances started with a handful
of tailors, some of whom were ex-political-prisoners who had suffered
torture and privation at the hands of the Chinese authorities in Tibet.
Together they battled fierce monsoons, water shortages and frequent
blackouts, often simultaneously! One of the biggest challenges was training
people who had previously led a pastoral or nomadic existence, to understand
the concept of delivery deadlines and international quality standards.

With the birth of her 2 children, Frances found herself naturally
gravitating towards designing children¹s clothes, and sales of her initial
childrens¹ collection quickly proved that there was a market for her
classical look, love of colour and immaculate tailoring.

As the sales of Eternal products grew in Australia, the company was faced
with a difficult decision – outsource or expand? Outsourcing would bring
with it the ethical dilemma faced by many designers: how do you know your
designs are being made under fair labour conditions and not subcontracted to
other factories that may not meet these standards?

Frances felt that outsourcing production would ultimately end up betraying
the original reasons she started the company. So she decided to increase the
capacity of the workshop, which would provide more jobs for the local
Tibetan and Indian community as well as ensuring that Eternal Creation¹s
trademark high quality standards were maintained.

In 2005, Eternal Creation opened the Himalaya Tailoring Centre in
Dharamsala. To ensure high morale and staff loyalty, tailors are paid a good
living wage, including sick leave, holiday pay and other benefits. To assist
working mothers, Frances established a free children¹s¹ crèche, as well as
providing maternity leave and maternity bonus for men and women.

Today the Himalaya Tailoring Centre is one of the largest private employers
in the area. Eternal Creation products are sold in over 200 stores in
Australia, Europe and Asia, as well as online.

“Every 30 minutes
the earth absorbs enough energy from the sun to power the entire
planet for a whole year. With Action 21 you can tap into this amazing
power.

Action 21 offers you
the opportunity to have a solar water heating system at home. A solar
water heating system, installed on your roof and plugged in to your
plumbing, can meet up to 75% of your hot water needs without using
any gas or electricity. Just think; a bath powered by the sun, or
washing up with water heated from millions of miles away.”

Action
21 wants to facilitate the installation of 300 domestic solar water
heating systems in Warwick District. It is estimated that there are
currently 300 installations in the district and our aim is to see
that doubled.

Water
heating accounts for around 1/6 of each house’s energy use. A solar
thermal installation can usually cover about 75% of that hot water
heating demand. Having a solar thermal installation will decrease
your CO2 emissions by about ½ tonne CO2 per year. The delivery of
the challenge can make an important contribution to lowering the
district’s CO2 footprint and to the installation of local
distributed renewable heat generation.

The
project is also supported by Action 21’s Renewable Energy Club
(REC). The club was set up by members of Action 21’s energy group
and now has its own steering group.

A
London-based businesswoman came Runner-Up in a major national award
in a UK-wide scheme recognising the business of mum-entrepreneurs.

Tabitha
Potts of Mimimyne
in London (http://www.mimimyne.com)

Business Mastermind Awards 2009, by an expert panel of judges.

Tabitha
said, “I am absolutely delighted to have received this important
accolade, in a world where an increasing number of mums are taking
the route of entrepreneurship to fit around their family.”

Tabitha
started her business in September
2008
when she became frustrated looking for designer, eco friendly
products her children, aged 7 and 4, could use and was inspired to
create Mimimyne to help parents like herself shop online and enjoy
peace of mind. She began visiting local and international trade shows
and sourced some wonderful independent UK based designers (many of
them mumpreneurs themselves) and has helped build a showcase for
sustainable children’s design in the UK. She has achieved this while
juggling childcare responsibilities and part-time work as a web
content editor.

The
awards, facilitated and judged by successful mumpreneur, Carmen

MacDougall, who has been coaching and training mums around the UK and
Europe over the last few years, to create
and run their own business and coaching them in areas of confidence
to communicate and present their business effectively, launched this
award as part of her initiative to support mums in business around
the UK.

Ms
MacDougall says, “It is great to witness an increasing number of
mothers who are confidently realising that they have valuable skills
to offer and a great idea and so are now taking the plunge and
establishing their own successful businesses which allows them to
have more time around the family. With many being made redundant they
are taking this opportunity to launch right in.”

Jane
Hopkins, Founder of Mums Club, said: “On behalf of the judges, we
were delighted to be able to award Tabitha as a runner-up in her
category, she has worked so hard beyond all challenges to establish
what is a fantastic business concept. Along with the other
nominations, Tabitha’s submission reflected the high standard she
had set herself, and had achieved, and is an excellent benchmark for
Mum-Entrepreneurs everywhere.”
