Today's emissions-free drive through the green news landscape passes by CV Jewellery's new fair trade designs, Matt & Nat's fab new vegan bags and more.

Fair trade fruit for your ears
If you've always wanted to combine your interests in fruit salad, fair trade and jewellery, the wait is over. Ethically minded CV Jewellery has a new range (pictured) dubbed Fruit Salad. Prices are £8 and up.

New vegan bags from Canada
Islington-based ethical emporium Equa is now stocking a new range of ethical bags from Matt & Nat. The bags start at £75, but rest easy that a portion of the profits go to animal welfare campaigners PETA.

George proposes green ISAs
Tory shadow chancellor George Osborne has thrown his hat into the ethical money ring, proposing new green Individual Savings Accounts dubbed GISAs. Watch this space -- we'll shout if GISAs appear likely to ever become reality.

First BedZED, next RuralZED
The Guardian reports on a new concept for eco-friendly homes in the countryside. Designed by the ZED Factory folks who brought us the triple-glazed, super-insulated, renewables-powered BedZED homes in the fag end of south London, the new RuralZED concept is based on a virtually airtight house that'll need minimal heating.
