Scrap Heap Art Challenge – Inspiring Ideas
Posted by admin on 30 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Green Events
The Scrap Heap Art Challenge is part of the North Norfolk Coast Earth Day at
Deepdale Backpackers & Camping and Deepdale Farm in Burnham Deepdale on the beautiful north Norfolk Coast.
On the 40th anniversary of Earthday, Deepdale has decided to celebrate by bringing a little artistic creativity to the program! They have invited a diverse group of artists to take up the challenge of creating pieces on the day from the recycled items from the campsite and hostel as well as some items donated by May Gurney’s of Sheringham and North Norfolk County Council, and Deepdale Farm too.
Some of the participating artists work is shown below – to help get those creative thoughts flowing…
Entrance is FREE to visitors. The art challenge begins at 9am and the exhibition begins at 10am.

The Greenest Bus In The World
Posted by admin on 28 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: My Alter-Eco
2010 sees the introduction of a green fleet of buses servicing the capital city of Norway. Oslo aims to be carbon neutral by 2050 and one of the first steps its taking is to power its buses in an eco friendly but unconventional way.
Oslo’s buses will be run on biomethane made from human waste which will be processed at two local sewage works. It will mean that the city’s population will be contributing to help power the buses in a cost effective and sustainable manner. Raw sewage which is usually seen as a waste mangagement problem will be used as an alternative to diesel and will mean a saving of 44 tonnes of Co2 per bus every year.

Posted by admin on 10 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Green Directory Reviews
Fou Furnishings is not yet two but already the innovative certified-organic and fair trade bed linen company is making its mark.
A Natural and Organic Awards 2009 finalist for best organic textile product, online quality bed linen specialist, Fou Furnishings, has just launched its first children’s collection with a limited edition design range. The designs were winners of Fou Furnishings’ Design-a-duvet competition during 2009 Organic Fortnight.
Fou Furnishings designer and director, Stephanie McIntosh, says: “We wanted the next generation to think green. The winning designs in our Design-a-duvet competition celebrate nature with flowers and butterflies, and fishes swimming in the sea.” ‘Flowers are wonderful’, with appliquéd and embroidered flowers and butterflies, is designed by a primary school pupil from Glasgow, Scotland. ‘Love to learn’ is designed by a mother in Middlesex, England, with animals and numbers, also appliquéd and embroidered.
One of India’s longest-established organic companies have produced the limited edition bedding. The Fou Furnishings baby and children range is certified Fairtrade ensuring fair wages and an ethical and transparent supply chain. The limited design duvet covers launches Fou Furnishings’ new organic bedding collection for babies and children.
Why organic?
Fou Furnishings director, Stephanie McIntosh, explains: “We spend around eight hours in bed; organic bedding is wonderfully soft for sensitive skins because of its long fibres and is completely toxic-free. Organic production is sustainable, traceable and safe for farm workers. I want exceptional quality – the best yarns come from cotton grown and processed the organic way.”
The just launched baby and children bedding collection uses high-quality 330 thread count organic cotton which means its smooth softness lasts and lasts.
