Hello Sarah,

we lived in Jersey for 1 year. It's a nice island, weather is good but it was too small for us. You know, we are from continent

Most of the things mentioned above + manual lawn mower

Not normally a reader of the telegraph but somehow I get emails from them which included an advert for their Green section. I found the article on Solar Power interesting so I thought I would pass it on. The comments underneath it are interesting as well. Hope the link works okay. http://www.telegr...

Actually a phrase 'I don't need a bag, thank you' was one of my first I learned when I came to the UK

I checked with a vendor at a home show and he told me for my 1000 sq ft house just to run the hoses in the ground and the upgrade to the electric would be between $11,000 and $13,000 USD. That didn't include the equipment and a back up furnace for when it really gets cold and the unit can't keep up...

WOW that's BIG! How do you use it for photography? I'm intrigued. I have a cubelite cube and I use the bulb for illuminating the stuff. Except OurEcoHouse website I also run publicdomainpictures website ( http://www.publicdomainpictures.net ) where I put my pictures so people can use them completel...

I used to use 500W bulb when I was taking some pictures, so I thought, there must be an energy saving bulb somewhere I could use instead. Well I've found one on ebay, ordered it and here it is. From the left: a bulb we use in our bedroom (11W), old 500W bulb, and new 100W CFL light bulb http://www.o...

BBC News wrote:The average Briton uses 167 plastic bags every year - 10 billion in total.

It's unbelievable. They really should charge for every plastic bag like £0.10 and you would see how the usage could drop.

Just a thought here. I'm sure I'm not the only one on the forum who would love a solar heating system for their water or a turbine that can actually power something, but can't afford it. £2,000 for a system is phenomenal, and far out of my range. Apart from the obvious environmental benefit, the a...

Hi everybody, :wave: we have recently started a campaign to build an ecological house and to support other people in green living. Andy Hamilton asked us in his post in 'Links, links and more links' section to tell you more about the campaign so here it is. Link: http://www.ourecohouse.info Our drea...

Well, we have bought from them a scarf, a soap and something else (don't remember now). Well, I wasn't very impressed when it arrived. It was loosely packed so the gift wrapping was ruined. I don't know if it was a Royal Mail fault or their but I'm still not brave enough to order again. Maybe later....

Interesting article. Actually I'm very interested in this kind of articles

Hmm... 'Give us a million quid, and we'll give less than half of it back and use the rest to build ourselves a luxury pad'. Actually, wait, that's not a bad idea. Anyone want to buy a Muddypause Lotto ticket*? * Terms and conditions apply. Hi guys, it's me who run the site. We do not ask you to giv...
