Order a phone recycling box and help the homeless

It is estimated there are currently 80 million redundant mobile phones in the UK, but a new corporate drop box scheme will help put them to good use. The scheme has been organised by Broadway, a leading London homelessness charity, as part of its “Phones For Homes” campaign whereby the charity receives a minimum of £3 and up to £30 for every phone donated.

Rebecca Sycamore, Broadway’s Director of Fundraising and Marketing, commented: “The money raised from the campaign will help fund our work with homeless people in London, helping them to find and keep a home and supporting them into training and work. As well as phones employees can also re-cycle empty inkjet cartridges in the boxes. Companies can also help by becoming commercial sponsors for the campaign.”

To order a donation box or envelope contact the Broadway fundraising team by phoning 020 7710 0576, or emailing fundraising@broadwaylondon.org. Further information on the campaign is available on Broadway’s web site at www.broadwaylondon.org or www.facebook.com/broadwaycharity.

British households lose £6.2billion "into thin air"

New TV series, "HOW TO...Reduce Energy Consumption & Save Money!" can tell average British household how to save as much as £1,500 per year

Rising wholesale energy costs, burst pipes and a long cold winter can only mean one thing for Briton’s 26.5 million households – a hike in bills, not to mention CO2 emissions.

But incredibly, only six out of ten British households made any effort to reduce its energy and water consumption in 2010 – which means that 10.6 million households saw £6.2billion of their hard-earned cash evaporate into thin air – or £592 per household on gas, electricity and water bills.

Roses are red violets are blue, Valentine's Day can be greener too

Forget flowers, mass-produced cards and chocolates this Valentine’s Day. Plan to be more eco-friendly this year and give gifts that are long lasting, useful and memorable.

The exact origins of St. Valentine are often disputed, with many variations of his story and traditions. For instance, in Denmark people swap poems and give candy snowdrops. In Japan, women are expected to give chocolate and other gifts to men on Valentine's Day.

Nigel Berman, founder of www.nigelsecostore.com has come up with ten top tips to help you have a low-carbon and guilt-free Valentine’s Day.

Can drinking good healthy water help us enjoy better health?

Isn’t it a strange paradox - much of the developing world is suffering from diseases due to not having access to clean healthy water. Yet the developed world population is suffering from a plague of modern diseases extensively contributed to by their failure to drink adequate amounts of clean healthy water. They have been brainwashed to believe that they can drink any fluid and it will meet the body’s hydration needs. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Dehydration is implicated in many if not all of our modern diseases. For many years it was believed that water was just a solvent to carry nutrients and was just filling the spaces between the solid matter in our body. However leading scientists and some doctors are beginning to realise that its role is much more extensive and much more important.
