energy_limboLast November, the Department of Energy kicked off its energy cutback competition Energy Limbo: How Low Can You Go?, based on a idea put forward by Greenrock.

Households participating in the program, which began in January and runs until the end of October, are competing for the greatest reduction in energy use during that time period.

Moving to compostable packaging, starch based cups and sustainably sourced wooden cutlery not only cuts down on our use of scarce resources, but also reduces the toxic chemicals that are released into the air at Tynes Bay when plastic is burned.

The move comes after the firm announced it had dropped its legal action against Government for denying BELCO the rate increase it had applied for to fund the project.

byob_nobagthanksDid you know that common estimates for the number of disposable plastic and paper bags used annually are in excess of 500 billion bags? That's about 1 million bags used per minute! What do we use them for? Generally we put a purchase in them, walk or ride home, take the purchase out and throw the bag away. Some of them are reused once or twice but the vast majority is used only once.
