EnerJar is top green gadget
At the Greener Gadgets Conference in New York City, which joins people from the biggest consumer electronics companies in the world and innovators, the DIY EnerJar won first prize.

Gorgeous fair trade silk scarves

Royal Mail helps cut our carbon footprint
Royal Mail is trying to catch up with emails by promising to help us cut our (mail) carbon footprint by 80 per cent by using a new software system, ViaPost, which integrates all word processing programmes and conveys letters digitally to the ViaPost printing depot closest to the receiver. The letters are then printed, folded, put into envelopes and delivered by hand by Royal Mail.
