We are pleased to announce that our garden is now officially certified
as organic by the Soil Association.
It’s taken a long time and quite some effort, so we’re thrilled and
hope that it makes you even more confident about us and the way we do
things.
Our garden provides many of the herbs we use in our physicks; others
are grown and/or produced by associates who are also certified by the
SA or similar.  If we cannot find a necessary ingredient that is
certified, we guarantee that we will search out the highest standard
possible.

The
UK
produces more than 400 million tonnes of waste every year, generated
mainly from households; commerce and industry combined. A high
proportion of this waste ends up in landfill, where it emits high
volumes of powerful greenhouse gases (GHGs), polluting our
environment and the air we breathe, and accelerating the impacts of
climate change. Green waste technology explores means of waste
disposal in a highly sustainable and socially responsible way, with
the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, decelerate
the affects of climate change, and lower economic costs.

As
part of Article
13’s
commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) we ‘encourage
the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly
technologies’ (Principle 9). This includes green waste technology.
See our UNGC
events pages
(URL:http://www.article13.com/csr/ungc_our_csr_events.asp).

Integrating
green waste technologies into an organisation is not only an
ecologically sound investment, but there is also a solid business
case attached. Moving towards green waste technology:

• Helps
  reduce organisational operating costs and cleanup cost.

• Reduces
  transportation costs and high waste taxes.

• Waste
  can be recycled in an industrial ecosystem, e.g. used again as an
  energy source.

• Can
  generate a competitive force and be used as a tool for competitive
  advantage.

Here
at Article 13, we
have leading edge experience in Incineration and Energy-from-Waste
plant – MSW, clinical and industrial waste as well as flue gas
treatment technologies and processes. Our best-in-class associates
provide amongst other services: technical appraisal of a new biomass
gasification process and technical audits of biomass fired power
plants.

New
innovations in environmental technology have the potential to pave a
sustainable way for the future through making important contributions
to our lives, and the environment we live in. Some particularly

Slash the cost of your business broadband with the Green Mobile, the UK’s most environmentally friendly phone company. Simply swapping over from BT broadband would save your business over £120 per year.  On top of that, Green Mobile’s broadband, landline and mobile services are “carbon negative” at no extra charge (using the Worldland Trust’s carbon offset programme). You really can go greener and save money.

Unlike many broadband deals out there, this is not a half price introductory gimmick that lasts a few months before you’re charged ‘full price’ for the remainder of your contract. Green Mobile’s basic package costs just £5 per month (ex vat) forever.

You won’t even need any new equipment, as your current ADSL2+
modem/router is fully compatible with this service. Simply pay a one
off £30 (ex vat) connection fee to join this service and start saving
money immediately.

What do you get for your £5 per month? 
Answer: A full broadband service. That means up to 8Mbs download speed
and a whopping 1Mb upload speed. That’s twice BT’s upload speed. You’ll
also get 5Gbs of usage, which is plenty for most businesses. However,
if you do shoot over, you’re only charged £1 per extra Gb. Or get
unlimited usage for just £4 extra per month.

Customers who need
super fast broadband can opt for Green Mobile’s 24Mb deal with
unlimited download for just £11 (ex vat) per month. Compare Green
Mobile’s deals and prices below.

Green Mobile broadband deals:

All prices exclude VAT and are based on 12 month contract. Prices are correct at time of production

To
be eligible for this offer new customers must transfer their business
line rental and calls over to Green Mobile. Line rental is charged at
BT’s current business rate and your local and national call charges
will be massively reduced to a market beating 0.9p per minute to
landlines and just 9p per minute to mobiles.  Alternatively you can opt
for unlimited local and national calls package at only £6 per month.

What to do next

Find
out if you’re out of contract with your current broadband provider – if
so, Green Mobile can swap you over to their service in 10 working days.
If you’re still in contract, please give Green Mobile a call as you can
still take advantage of their highly discounted landline rental and
call rates. They can also take your details and get back to you when
your current contract is about to expire.

Swapping to Green Mobile

It’s
easy to sign up for this service, or to find out more about their
‘green’ credentials and carbon offset system, just call Green Mobile’s
on 08452 333 333 or send an email to johan@greenmobile.co.uk.  Green
Mobile’s customer service promise means your call will be answered in
just 3 rings by a friendly member of staff.  And don’t worry if you
don’t have business broadband because Green Mobile also provides a
range of highly discounted residential broadband packages.

There’s nothing kiddies like more
than running around in the sunshine and splashing about in the water. 
Isn’t it great that thanks to the array of genuinely natural children’s
skin care products now available, kid’s can have fun in the sun just
the way nature intended?

Understanding SPF

It’s always tempting with kids to
go for the highest SPF (sun protection factor).  But did you know
that SPF30 is NOT double the protection of SPF15?  So, for example,
SPF15 offers 93% protection against UVB rays, while SPF30 offers 97%
protection against UVB – only a marginal increase.  For children,
an SPF20 -25 should be entirely sufficient.

The most important point with sun protection
and particularly kids is to keep reapplying every couple of hours at
least, or when kids come out of the water or have been rubbed with a
towel.

The children’s sun lotions from pioneering
natural beauty companies, such as Green
People and Lavera, are safe, non-greasy, easy to apply and won’t
irritate sensitive skin.  In fact, only natural organic sun lotions
are naturally water resistant as they form a layer that reflects the
sun’s rays.  They work like an elephant protects itself – by
throwing sand on its skin.

Cool Down

And once they’ve had enough sun shine
for one day, gentle natural
after sun moisturisers
use ingredients such as aloe vera, lavender and marigold to keep children’s
skin cool and calm.

So Sensitive

For children who are particularly prone
to allergies, eczema or have sensitive skin, there are ‘no scent’
versions available of natural sun lotions, after sun moisturisers and
body lotions, just to be on the safe side as even some essential oils
can be an irritant to very sensitive skin.

Bonny
Bottoms

Sadly, the heat can often bring about
bouts of nappy rash in babies.  Natural nappy
cream and baby salve products use beeswax to protect against the
dampness that can lead to soreness and use natural anti-irritants to
soothe and calm the skin. 

The Convenience Factor

When travelling with little ones it’s
easy to get laden with multitudes of extra luggage.  For convenience,
keep products such as Green
People’s multi-purpose Baby Foaming Cleanser
to hand.  The light foam removes dirt and grime and dries without
stickiness.  Or opt for travel size gift sets – with miniature
moisturisers, salves and baby washes to keep in your travel bag.

And as anyone with kids knows, you
will be prepared for most eventualities with a packet of baby wipes
always to hand!  The natural option from Beaming Baby is 100% biodegradable, flushable and totally
chlorine free – containing organic aloe vera and orange blossom to
hydrate and nourish sensitive skin.  Or there are also gentle facial
cleansing wipes from Beaming
Baby which have a 90% aloe vera content and are as good on kids as they
are on make up!

Magic Cream

Keep the soothing all purpose gel from Z-Gel at easy reach wherever you happen to be this
Summer.  This carefully selected synergistic blend of plant extracts
and flower essences will help to heal scratches, cuts and insect bites
on both a physical and an emotional level.

Be Prepared

You can pick up all your natural and
organic baby skincare essentials from organic beauty boutique, www.lucyrose.biz.  Delivery is speedy and postage and
packing is free of charge so being naturally prepared on holiday really
will be child’s play.

We
all know we need Omega 3, but what is it? Why do we need it? And
where can we get it from? Well if you are a Vegetarian or Vegan,
VeggieOmega3.co.uk has all the answers.

Developed
by the GOOD
OIL
Team, VeggieOmega3.co.uk is designed to explain all about Omega 3,
and includes delicious Omega 3 recipes designed especially for
Vegetarians and Vegans. The team at GOOD
OIL
will also regularly update their Veggie Blog, and plan to build a
network of handy and interesting links to other Veggie organisations,
groups, products and events.

Made
from 100% cold pressed hemp seed oil, GOOD
OIL
is a perfect example of a great Veggie source of Omega 3. It has the
highest Omega content amongst all everyday culinary oils (20 times as
much as Olive Oil!) and provides an easy, versatile and delicious way
to ensure the body is supplied with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)
everyday. It also contains Stearidonic acid (SDA) a more potent form
of Omega 3 than other seed oils contain, which the body can convert
into the very long EFAs more efficiently. The site also includes the
GOOD
OIL
story and information about hemp

Henry
Braham, founder of GOOD
OIL
says, “We decided to set up VeggieOmega3.co.uk because we felt that
there was not enough good information about EFAs for Veggies out
there. A few of the very informed understand about the different
types of Omega 3, but many are unaware, so we wanted to spread the
word. We included some recipes because we believe that getting your
Omega 3 doesn’t need to be a chore – we like to think that GOOD
OIL
tastes so good it should be really enjoyable and it doesn’t need to
cost the earth either – we use 100% of our sustainable hemp crop,
so it is very economical compared to many Omega supplements.”

If
you would like a link to your Veggie friendly website or blog added
to the site, please let GOOD
OIL
