This is a Non Profit aiming to help resource for orphaned children in Kenya
It's an interesting idea Victor. Has this sort of model, where the polluter commits to invest in lowering emissions, been attempted overseas or discussed elsewhere?
Reducing cardboard use is great. Reducing plastic is better. Making products and packaging under fairtrade conditions is even better.
In response to the question, I would suggest whitegoods and browngoods. Why do we need polystyrene packaging at al…
Nice idea from Puma to reduce their packaging, and they seem to be encouraging the rest of the industry to follow. What other industries need to rethink their approaches to packaging?

Bio-fuels to save aviation?
One of the more controversial approaches to lowering carbon emissions while dealing with the reality of finite fossil fuel resources is the switch to bio-fuels. While the switch to bio-fuels for cars and farm machinery has been taking place for some years, we are now seeing it hailed as the solution for the aviation industry.

Dana Pigot said… - G'day Leon, thanks for the welcome - it has been a while. My how we've grown! I've been 'dropping in' to check out the skinny from the sidelines without signing in, much to my detriment as now I can't seem to sign into my old profile - I had to make a new one and now I have 2 in my name!?!
Anyhoo, might have a wander and see what other smilin' faces there are...
Cheers
