Paradise found

To end the Earth Day theme of the week I have found the most amazing image of our beautiful earth...

Gift to Gaia

Continuing the Earth Day theme I am reminded that James Lovelock once famously said something about how wonderful humanity is for giving Gaia her first view of herself...a fantastic point and my, isn't she beautiful?

Pale Blue Dot

This week I have decided to focus on images of our beautiful planet to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd. After yesterdays beautiful close-up I thought it would be fun to go to the other extreme.

This image is called Pale Blue Dot and shows Planet Earth on Feb 14th 1990 from 6.4 billion kilometres away courtesy of Voyager 1 where 'Earth is a dot obscured in a beam of scattered sunlight (pinpointed by artificial blue circle).' Amazing!

Happy Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day folks...

Thanks to NASA for a great pic of our beautiful world.

Water: more precious than gold

Happy World Water Day. Here are five ways to love the clear stuff:

1) Put a brick in your toilet tank - reduce the amount you flush
2) Shower instead of taking a bath - check out our great water-saving shower head!
3) Switch off taps when you can i.e. when you are brushing your teeth
4) Rinse vegetables in a small bowl of water instead of leaving the tap running
5) Fill a bucket to wash your car instead of using a hose

Love water? Save water! Would love to hear your tips on saving water...

Peace Now!

Today marks the annual International Day of Peace organised by the Peace One Day campaign. To show our support for the campaign we will donate £1 for every order placed online at www.naturalcollection.com on September 21 2007.

Like Peace One Day, Natural Collection believes that peace starts very small. Today maybe you will make up with someone, maybe you will end an argument, perhaps you will say something nice to someone instead of something harsh, and so on. Ultimately peace comes from small beginnings. And it starts with all of us.

Let us know what you did to celebrate this years International Day of Peace. We want to hear about it.

Peace One Day

We like Peace One Day. We hope you do too!

Imagine if Trafalgar Square was turfed over? What a lovely idea. Well for two days you do not have to imagine...
