Ebico

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Ebico
Ltd is a not-for-profit gas and electricity supplier
aiming to offer a better, fairer deal for domestic energy to British
households. We’re also an expanding enterprise committed to working
both
for social justice and the wise use of the earth’s resources, in a
variety of ways.

Founded
in 1998, Ebico has been making a real difference for ten
years, especially to low-income households – but also to the planet.
Our
title acronym derives from our original name: the Equitable Billing
Company.
We’re at the forefront of fair energy pricing, and well over 50,000 UK
homes have already switched to Ebico’s fair tariffs.

Why
do people choose Ebico? Many choose us because our prices
are cheaper for them. And many others choose us because they know our
prices
are fairer for everyone. Still others choose us for our innovative
carbon-offsetting service, and because our tariff structure is simple,
transparent and straight-forward.

Our
core business aim is to reverse the dominant market trends
within our own commercial ventures. Instead of competing for the
business of
those who can spend most, by offering them the best deals and cheaper
rates, we
use the combined purchasing power of all our customers to achieve
ethical
results that benefit the majority – while putting first those who have
least.

Honeymooning at home – the rise of the 'staycation-moon'

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

With the summer wedding season well underway, responsibletravel.com,
the world’s leading travel agent for responsible holidays reports an
impressive 41% year on year increase in the number of customers
enquiring about honeymoons in the UK, and a staggering 448% increase
since 2007.

The responsible holiday company attributes the rise, in what it
refers to as ’staycation-moons’ to couples tightening their belts
during the recession as well as an increased awareness of the
environmental impact of flying and a desire to explore closer to home.
Justin Francis, managing director, responsibletravel.com:

“The average carbon footprint of a wedding these days is thought to
be in the region of 14.5 tonnes, not to mention the average monetary
cost! With all this in mind it’s no wonder that many UK couples-to-be
are considering options closer to home. We’ll certainly be looking to
increase our UK honeymoon holiday range to help keep up with this
demand. ”
