A few weeks of being very un-Sure

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

In the words of a grumpy old gent: “I do not believe it”.

Before I hit the streets fervently spreading the Wikaniko word in the new year, I felt I should be using (and hopefully loving) a fair few of the products.

One of the easiest eco-friendly products to “test” was the Wikaniko Deodorant Stone.  Also, one of the hardest.  To be honest, it took a wild leap of faith to go without my trusted anti-perspirant spray.

Here goes, human guinea pig, hubby scoffing quietly that it must be some kind of witchcraft (again).

Slightly surreal, rubbing a scentless stone in your arm pits.  (Yes, unlike the gentle ladies responsible for most of the anti-perspirant advertising on TV, I am happy to say “arm pits” rather than the relatively-newly-invented and somewhat feeble-sounding “under arms”).

The pure natural rock crystal eliminates odour-causing bacteria allowing perspiration without body odour.  It does not block pores. Its ‘active’ ingredients are simply natural mineral salts. There is no Aluminium Chlorohydrate which has been causally linked to breast cancer, it contains no parabens and has not been tested on animals.

And all that to one side, it works.  It. Works. A. Treat.

I’d be lying to say I wasn’t a little nervous leaving the house to do a mornings-worth of chores and a strenuous and energetic dog walk.  I resisted the urge to put the anti-perspirant in my bag in case I started to whiff.

But it didn’t actually cross my mind again until the following morning post-bath when I remembered that I was using it!

For those of enquiring mind (and occassional sloppy hygiene) like myself, it works (for me) for about 48 hours… OK, so I’m the only one prepared to admit to skipping my morning ablutions and spending a day doing housework in my PJs?  Never mind.

After 48 hours of no washing and no reapplication of said super environmentally friendly, skin friendly wonder stone, (and that’s 48 hours of running about and chasing a toddler and dog and doing endless tidying up etc) I still didn’t stink, I was just mildly aware of being slightly-less-than-fresh: my long-suffering Dad confirmed he couldn’t “smell me” when I wafted around under his nose (sorry Dad).  So no worse than skipping washing and conventional anti-persirant for a day or so.

And again, flying in the face of those doubters who say it costs the earth to save the earth, the Wikaniko Deodorant Stone costs rather a lot less than my previously-loved aerosol can of anti-perspirant and apparently lasts for months… kicking myself that my scepticism held me back for so long!

Thin people, stop reading now, the final paragraph will only distress you.

Post script for fat people: for those of us who have various crevices and creases around other parts of our bodies that could possibly also get a little hot and sticky, this product is an absolute must.  A quick whizz over with the natural deodorant stone and you’ll be confident that you are super-fresh wherever and whenever… you know what I mean, I shan’t spell it out.  All the skinny people will have read on, regardless of the warning, and are now feeling shocked and faint.

Is big business making progress on climate change?

Monday, August 17th, 2009

In
the run up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in
Copenhagen, latest research from EIRIS focuses on 300 of the world’s
largest companies to examine the progress they have made over the last
12 months in responding to the challenges of climate change.

Climate Change Compass: The road to Copenhagen
analyses the 300 largest companies listed on the FTSE All World Index
and finds that just over a third are failing to address the risks they
face from climate change – although the quality of companies management
response to climate change has improved overall.

Climate change has the potential to seriously impact shareholder value, especially in the medium to long term. As
the significant physical and economic impacts of climate change
increase, investors need to develop a greater understanding of the
extent and impact of corporate response to this issue. Highlights of
EIRIS’ research into how some of the world’s largest companies are
responding to climate change challenges are listed below:

Some improvements, but further momentum needed

§         Over a third (35.6%) of global 300 companies have a high or very high climate change impact1. Of these, 33% are failing to mitigate their climate change risk (down from 34% in 2008)

§         99%
of companies with a high or very high climate change impact have a
corporate-wide climate change commitment (in comparison with 84% in
2008). This improvement can be explained by a number of drivers coming
into play including the increasing activity of investors

§         Almost
three quarters of companies (73% compared with 61% last year) have
referenced the wider policy context by referring to international
targets, regulations or the scientific imperative

Opportunities at Copenhagen

§         The
UN Climate Change Conference may create significant opportunities for
companies – linked to the development of green stimulus packages or a
clearer regulatory framework.

Engagement is key

§         Many large cap companies face significant climate change
risks and opportunities.  Investors must understand the impact these
issues will have on their portfolios and integrate climate change into
their engagement strategies or when exercising voting rights.

Climate
change affects businesses across every sector of the economy – from
aviation to agriculture. EIRIS’ latest research also outlines the
various risks and opportunities for companies and their investors which
climate change presents, including:

§         Regulatory challenges – Copenhagen
may bring about a number of changes in national and international
legislation for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Potential
environmental taxes and compliance costs must therefore be factored
into company valuation

§         Changing market dynamics
- relating to higher and fluctuating energy costs, especially for
energy intensive sectors. Changing consumer attitudes and demand
patterns also open up opportunities for new technologies, products and
markets

§         Changing weather patterns – security
and cost of water and energy supplies, plus the physical risks of
climate change, including damage to assets as a result of extreme
weather events all have cost implications

§         Reputational - customer, employee, investor and societal perceptions are having an increasing impact on brand value

Given
the importance of climate change and the likely impact of it on future
long-term corporate financial performance, it is increasingly seen as
an investor’s fiduciary responsibility to integrate consideration of
climate change into their investment strategy as outlined in the
UNEP-FI Fiduciary II report2. Against a backdrop of the
recent global financial crisis and growing evidence of the significant
physical effects of climate change, the outcome of the Copenhagen
Conference will set the direction for a financial and policy framework
for future climate change investment for governments, corporations and
investors.

Stephanie Maier,
Head of Research at EIRIS said ‘Our research identifies a number of
improvements in the strategies that companies have put in place with
regard to their climate change impact. It is encouraging to see some
evidence that regulation and the increasing engagement activity of
investors on climate change are driving companies to focus more
attention on the climate change risks and opportunities they face.’

However, there are areas where further progress can be achieved. Stephanie Maier
added ‘Board level responsibility and ownership of a company’s response
to climate change is crucial. Linking remuneration to performance in
this area will help ensure companies remain focussed on these issues.
Likewise the increased use of verification for GHG emissions data will
provide investors with further reassurance on the reliability of the
information published. These are key areas where investors should exert
influence so as to help them minimise their risk.’

Natracare Tops the League with Ethical and Eco Credentials

Monday, August 17th, 2009

We all want and need to make changes to help protect our health and environment, but with an ever increasing minefield of green and ethical claims out there, it can be hard to know which brands we can really trust and those which will really make a difference. Independent and respected awards and accreditations give an easy way to weed out the true green brands.

The organic and natural feminine hygiene brand, Natracare, has once
again been recognized for its ethical and environmental credentials
having been given an award from the Ethical Company Organisation, a
fully independent endorsement which outlines the ‘premier league’ of
genuine corporate social responsibility and ethical companies. During
the analysis Natracare achieved an outstanding Ethical Accreditation
Index score, which places it at the top of the table for the Sanitary
Protection sector.

The Natracare brand philosophy has always been
to provide products that never compromise health or the environment.
Many brands of sanitary protection contain crude oil plastics,
synthetics, harsh chemicals and even dioxin residues, which can cause
intimate irritation for women and thousands of years of pollution for
our global environment. All Natracare
tampons, pads, liners and wipes are 100% chlorine-free, plastic-free
and crude oil derivatives-free. In addition to the new Ethical Award
and a Women in Ethical Business award, Natracare is the first feminine
hygiene brand to have obtained an International Environmental Product Declaration (EPD[1])
a scientifically validated, independently-assessed life cycle analysis
which determines the carbon footprint of the products as well as a
Green accreditation officiated by the Nordic Ecolabel organisation. The entire range has been awarded the LOHAS award
for its environmental and sustainable criteria. The comprehensive
Natracare range is designed so that certified organic 100% cotton is
next to your skin. The range includes Soil Association certified
Organic 100% Cotton tampons with and without applicators, organic and
natural Ultra pads and Panty Liners, Organic Cotton Intimate Wipes,
Organic Cotton Baby Wipes, Nursing pads, Maxi pads and Dry & Light
Pads for sensitive bladders.

A Natural Approach to Breastfeeding

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

It was
World Breastfeeding Week from 1st
to 7th
August 2009. Recent information released by the Office of National
Statistics has shown that breastfeeding is finally on the rise
increasing by 7% to 79%1
of all newborns, and with a spate of celebrity mums expecting this
summer, Natracare is encouraging all new mums to try and breastfeed.

Many
breast feeding mothers are using protective nursing pads that are
made from materials derived from the petroleum industry, such as the
plastics; polypropylene, polyethylene and super absorbent gels, which
will taint baby’s milk as residual odour
from the plastics transfer to the nipples and then to the baby’s
mouth during breast feeding.

The
Natracare nursing pads not only make the breastfeeding experience
more comfortable, because they are extra soft and absorbent, but
also, because they are made from totally chlorine free, plastic free,
natural materials, they are biodegradable and compostable, meaning
that your child is not left with a plastic waste legacy as he or she
grows up.

Important
news for mums who are breastfeeding or planning to is that
Natracare’s New Mother Nursing Pads was recently awarded the
accolade of being the “Best Eco-Friendly Breast Pads” by the
independent TIPS organization managed by midwife, Sharon Trotter
(www.tipslimited.com) as well as having been awarded a string of
environmental and ethical awards of excellence including most
recently the Ethical Company Organisation.

Breastfeeding
benefits

  • Breastfeeding
    is linked to more positive parenting

A
recent study of over 1,000 mothers has shown that mothers who
breastfeed their babies have a better bond with the child and boost
their educational development.

  • Lungs
    boosted by breastfeeding

The
sheer physical effort involved in breastfeeding may leave babies with
stronger lungs well into childhood, researchers suggest.

  • Other
    benefits

It
is also widely acknowledged that breastfeeding helps protect your
baby against ear
infections, gastro-intestinal infections, chest infections, urine
infections, childhood diabetes, eczema, obesity and asthma. In
addition it can protect mothers against ovarian cancer, breast cancer
and weak bones later in life as well as helping to shift baby weight.

Over
the last 20 years, Natracare has established a trusted reputation
amongst women seeking an organic and natural, chemical-free choice in
sanitary protection. Natracare offers a range of totally chlorine
free, plastic free, certified organic cotton tampons, organic and
natural sanitary pads and liners, organic cotton intimate wipes and
baby wipes, incontinence pads, nursing and maternity pads. The
Natracare New Mother Nursing Pads sell
at £2.15 for 25 and the Maternity Pads are £2.19 for 10.

Many
hygiene products available to women and babies are made from
materials and chemicals which have a negative impact on both women’s
health and the environment. The
entire Natracare range is made from high quality, natural and organic
ingredients, and are great value for money.

Natracare
is available nationwide in independent health stores, independent
pharmacies, and Waitrose.

New Designer’s 2009 – I spy with my little eco eye…

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

By Elaine Dutton, Director Pure Design

2009 New Designers in Islington opened its doors to the public this Thursday, and for the fourth year running I was there to see what promising new graduate talents are in store for the UK design industry, and of course my radar was set to sustainable!

What is special about this trade show?
With over 3,500 of the best new design graduates represented for the two weeks the show runs, New Designers is definitely one of the highlights of my design calendar. Not only is the quality of the work on show fantastic, the buzz about the place is great, and the designers are overwhelmingly positive and all eager to talk about their work.  Week one exhibitors include contemporary applied arts, ceramics and glass, jewellery and precious metalwork graduates, and the ‘One Year On’ exhibit tracks award winners from the year before. Week two includes product & furniture design, visual communications and spatial design, and as above ‘One Year On’ of award winners from 2008 in these disciplines.

How to spot the green goods?
The irony when searching for new eco design products and talents for Pure Design online boutique, gallery and gift shop,
is that Pure Design is a design-led sustainable company – so we don’t
go looking for accessories that look green we go looking for design
pieces that have the ‘ah’ factor and then we ask the designer the deal
breaker “are your products eco or ethical?” So it is actually quite
hard to ‘spot’ eco products in a way.  In my view the best eco design
does not scream out “I’m green and good, pick me, pick me” – it is
quietly and confidently stylish and doesn’t need to flaunt its virtues
to be noticed.

Over the past few years of visiting design
fairs and exhibitions and interviewing designers, I have learnt which
disciplines of craft and design tend to score high and low on the eco
scale. There is often little eco joy to be found in acrylic – although
I have met several designers trying to reduce, reuse or replace the use
of plastic, for example opting to use plant based bio-resin
alternatives. Ceramics and glass are usually not particularly eco, and
sadly many of the textile designers I speak to do not use natural or
non-toxic dyes. However, I have been pleasantly surprised when I have
been proven wrong and a designer has pointed out that they have found a
way to turn a material on its head. 

This year, with limited
time and a few hundred stalls to get round I decided to try the top to
bottom approach, so duly started on the top floor and set off into the
world of ceramics….

Now I have to admit I do usually move quite swiftly through this section as to date, with the exception of Sarah Jerath of Sustain Ceramics who
incorporates recycled car window glass and reclaimed china in her work,
I haven’t encountered much in the way of eco ceramics. However, I am
ever hopeful and would be delighted to be proven wrong, so answers on a
postcard please if you have any tips on eco ceramics! 

Tomorrow’s ‘Newspaper’ Jewellery
Having
exhausted the ceramics section quite quickly I moved into the
contemporary applied arts section and immediately spotted some
jewellery that intrigued me. Sidling up to the cabinet for a closer
look and to read the designers statement, I saw the magic words ‘eco
range’ – bingo! I am pleased to say Julie Linn the designer was also
nearby and having spotted my obvious interest she very kindly chatted
through her range, ideas and ambition of creating a fully recyclable
range of recycled paper jewellery. Julie’s range recognises the
transient nature of fashion and offers an affordable and sustainable
product that can reinvent and recycle itself with every new season. In
my opinion a great alternative to the endless new ranges of bright
plastic or cheap metal jewellery the high street retailers seem to be
awash with at the moment. 

Intrigue & Attics
I
had also received an inside tip from an ex-colleague that there were
some intriguing flying light bulbs at the Falmouth college stall which
I couldn’t resist seeking out and am very glad I did. Curious,
intriguing, humorous and a little Tim Burtonesque are just some of the
adjectives I would pick. Luckily before I had a chance to meddle and
break the delicate workings of these automata pieces, Richard Hackney
the designer came over and explained that all of the parts were
salvaged treasures from his grandfather’s loft. As a self-confessed
attic/second hand /antique shop addict, I found these little reclaimed
sculptures instantly likeable and how great that they were the result
of a dusty rummage through family treasures.

I then descended
onto the main floor of the centre – awash with textile swatches,
banners of printed paper draped floor to ceiling, upholstered gilded
armchairs in bespoke textiles and eye-catching screen printed dresses
and fashion designs.

Amongst the sea of textiles, the next
promising designer I met was Jenny Clarke a graduate from Nottingham
Trent University. Jenny carries out intricate hand embroidery on
reclaimed textiles and second hand clothes and unlike one of her chosen
subject matters ‘Marmite’ I didn’t think it was a love or hate affair.
I really liked Jenny’s work – the concept was simple but the
application of her craftsmanship and creativity inspiring, and I am
sure her work would appeal to a wide range of audiences. And amongst
all the super modern technologies, trends and textiles, Jenny’s work
showed that even the very traditional applied crafts such as embroidery
have a place and a market in our style obsessed but eco 21st century
world.

Eco Ezee Reusable Paint Tray Review

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009


Review by The Green Familia

I was really intrigued when I saw the
Eco Ezee Paint Tray – it seems such a simple idea. We are currently
renovating our house and are going to be doing a lot of painting.
When I have decorated before I’ve always used the traditional
plastic painting tray and roller. I never liked having to wash all
the paint out of the plastic tray when I finished and was impressed
by Eco Ezee’s claim that their tray can be reused without washing
it out! A brilliant idea! So, I gave it a go to see just how well it
works.

Concept: The Eco Ezee Paint Tray
is designed as an alternative to all the plastic and metal trays
currently available. It is made from 100% recycled waste material.
When you have finihsed painting, there is no need to use water to
wash the tray – just wipe out any excess paint and leave to dry. Any
paint left will soak into the tray and dry.

In use: The Eco Ezee tray is
very easy to use – it is just like any other paint tray. The tray
holds paint well and the roller section helps you get a good coverage
of paint on the roller. There is also a very useful little gap at the
end of the roller section which I found perfect for holding
paintbrushes. I thought the tray might become ’soggy’ when I used
it, but I was pleased to see that it held the paint well the whole
time I was using it. Although I could feel the paint soaking into the
tray, I never thought that it would ‘give’ or tear. It always
felt very strong.

The cleverness of the Eco Ezee’s
design really becomes apparent when you have finished painting.
Instead of having to wash the tray out, I wiped out the leftover
paint (if you have a lot of paint left you could pour that into a can
first to use again). Once all the excess paint was gone I just left
the tray to dry! No washing, which saved me time and water. When I
used the tray the next time, the paint had dried into the tray and it
was ready to use again. As the paint soaked into the tray, there is
no flaking or peeling like you get on plastic trays. The tray was
perfect and ready to be reused.

Positives: I loved everything
about this tray – it is made from recycled waste materials, it’s
easy to use, it can be used again and again and it needs no washing.
It will also last a long time. The paint that soaks into the tray
when you have finished using it, helps to make the tray stronger the
more it is used.

Negatives: None at all.

Cost: The Eco Ezee Paint tray
costs about £1.50, depending on where you buy it, which I think is
excellent value for money.

Where can I buy it?: A list of
suppliers is available on the Eco Ezee website, in the Where to Buy
Section. As well as being sold at Travis Perkins, the tray can also
be purchased from several online suppliers such as Ecotopia and My
Little Eco.

Verdict: 5/5 – a very clever
product.

Trusts and foundations should think again on financial risks

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Trusts
and foundations should consider environmental, social and governance
(ESG) risks and opportunities in their investments to safeguard value
and protect the interests of future beneficiaries -according to new
research released today by the EIRIS Foundation.

Sustainable returns: The value of environmental, social and governance factors for Foundation investments
examines why issues such as climate change and corporate governance
pose financial risks and opportunities for trusts and foundations.

Despite
their role in supporting pioneering social and environmental projects
through grants, many trusts and foundations are still lagging behind
other asset owners when it comes to responsible investment. This can
lead to significant conflicts between mission and investments. 

The
financial crisis has highlighted the risks that all investors,
including trusts and foundations, are exposed to. It has underlined the
importance of responsible ownership and long-term investing which
require accountability, transparency, and the consideration of
‘extra-financial’ research in the investment process.

The
EIRIS Foundation’s new report sets out why these principles make sound
financial sense for trusts and foundations. It explores the growing
body of evidence to show how the integration of ESG risks and
opportunities into investment can safeguard and enhance value for
shareowners.

The paper also highlights the following steps
that trusts and foundations should take to ensure they are managing
investments in a responsible and sustainable way:

1) Agree a position on responsible investment
2) Research investment manager’s expertise and practice in ESG integration
3) Include ESG integration in the investment mandate
4) Join collaborative initiatives, such as the Carbon Disclosure Project
5) Vote shares on ESG related issues
6) Engage with companies directly or via investment managers
7) Invest in sustainability-themed funds such as greentech, microfinance or timber
8) Invest in responsible investment funds that use ESG integration

Report
author Sam Collin, Charity Adviser at the EIRIS Foundation, said
‘Responsible investment is nothing new – some charities have been doing
this for decades. There is compelling evidence that ESG issues have a
financial impact and this shouldn’t be ignored by trusts and
foundations. This fits clearly with the fiduciary duties of trustees
and with Charity Commission guidance. Trusts and foundations that fail
to take ESG  issues into account could be seen as acting imprudently
and failing to secure their long term financial sustainability.’

Alastair
Hanton, Chair of the EIRIS Foundation, added ‘The integration of ESG
factors into investment processes is now recognised by the mainstream
as a way to enhance value – as demonstrated by the $18 trillion worth
of signatories to the United Nations Principles for Responsible
Investment. It’s not enough to just assume that ESG issues are being
integrated into the investment process. Acting as responsible owners,
trusts and foundations should question and encourage their asset
managers to adopt and implement best practice in responsible
investment.’
