Summerton Mill – where magical things happen
I remember it being a real challenge to find anything savoury I was happy for Little miss Green to watch when she was a toddler. I hated most of the messages many children’s TV programmes were subliminally teaching, and sought out some old dvds from programmes I watched as a child instead. The programmes in…
Read MoreAquapax – the most ecologically sourced water
A few months ago, I came across Aquapax pure mineral water. It’s the champagne of ‘bottled’ waters, only it doesn’t come in a bottle, it comes in a tetra pak carton! I must admit, my first thought at putting water in a tetra pak was why? Plastic is ok (well it’s not ok from a…
Read MoreNaturity pure personal care products
It’s not often I find personal products that come up to my high standards! From making my own products in the past I’m pretty fussy when it comes to ingredients. However, Naturity tick all the boxes! Located in New Jersey, Naturity use 99-100% certified organic ingredients and what really excites me is the number of…

Released in November 2007, “A Crude Awakening“, directed by Ray McCormack and Basil Gelpke is a 90 minute documentary about the planet’s dwindling oil supply. The films ‘cast’ is made up of experts from the…
Read MoreEcover Power Clean vs Cillit Bang degreaser
When I first began my ‘green journey’ it was challenging at times. There were few products and services that were truly green and actually worked. I put up with second rate cleaning because I believed in the ethics of my lifestyle choices, but sometimes I gave in to powerful toxic cleaners just to get the…
Read MoreBlack gold – A call to action for Fair trade
Last night Mr Green and I watched the film ‘Black Gold‘ which tells the story of coffee growers in Ethiopia. This film really touched me. Although I’m not a coffee drinker, I feel that the film could have been about anything grown in developing countries – bananas, chocolate; anything that Westerners can’t get enough of…
Read MoreOrganic, daily facial oil by Inlight
I’ve been using the organic daily face oil by Inlight after being sent a product sample to review. Over the past few weeks I had been using jojoba oil in my face as a moisturizer, so was used to the idea of using an oil rather than a cream. It takes a bit of getting…
