I thought I’d share our green column from this week’s The Wharf newspaper:
Thames Water might be testing our patience digging holes in the road all over the place, but they get one thing right: our tap water is rated top for quality in the country. It recently rated higher than mineral water in an […]
If you’re in the area come along and see us at the London South Bank University fete tomorrow, 12pm - 4pm. It’s just round the corner from Elephant & Castle tube on Keyworth Street. The event aims to engage the University with the local community. Seventeen have been having lots of fun booking a great […]
This weekend I cycled down to St James Park and visited the Dig for Victory allotment set up by Imperial War Museum. It’s set up for people to learn about British families grew their own fruit and veg to overcome food shortages during the war, and to encourage people today to do the same. I […]
We were all absolutely delighted with the Ethical Awards last week - the best year yet and probably one of the best events we’ve ever managed. Highlights for me included:
…spotting Colin Firth and wife Livia pulling up in a Green Tomato cab and sneaking them in the side door to avoid the papparazzi.
