Natural Collection

Facebook group?

Did you know that we have a Natural Collection Facebook group? Why not join the 350  (was 350 when I last looked, honest) members already signed up.

The group occasionally gets offers or news even before we send it out on email but best of all we have run (and plan to run more) some great draws/competitions. There might even be the odd freebie. You just never know what might happen...

And of course by joining you can tell your pals that you love us, and we of course, love you too!

Ahhhh...

Lightbulb 2.0?

The future of lighting looks very bright indeed.

Walk it: getting people back on their feet

I often find myself travelling short distances by London Tube and so the Walk It site is becoming more and more useful to me. Basically, instead of travelling the one or two stops between meetings by tube it can often be quicker and healthier to walk - distances in between London Tube stations can be geographically quite small - and even if it is not quicker just getting back out on to the streets and in to the fresh air is better all round. They are even now developing pollution-aware walking routes for the inner city area.

Walk It covers London, Newcastle, Birmingham & Newcastle/Gateshead although I have only tested it in London so far. It shows you the A to B mapped route to walk along with likely journey times at various average walking speeds and the calories you are likely to burn.

What a good idea.

Al Gore Gets Current

Al Gore is a bit like marmite: you either love him or hate him. He nearly became President, won an oscar for 'An Inconvenient Truth' and was behind the recent Live Earth event. One thing not focused on nearly enough in the media is his new initiative to democratise media: Current TV. Stephen Armstrong at Sublime magazine recently interviewed Al Gore about his current activities and Sublime have kindly allowed us to reproduce the article. Enjoy.
