May's best green reviews by you, the readers

SEAT's Ibiza Ecomotive
People News
Channels: People News Tags: competitions

Every month we pick out our top reviews written by you, SmartPlanet's ridiculously good-looking readers. This month's winners, Denniscuddles and Ali Hunt, will shortly get a bottle of organic champagne in the post from Vintage Roots by way of a thank you.

Denniscuddles on the economic SEAT Ibiza Ecomotive (pictured)
In my third week of ownership and am still trying to decide how best to grasp the ignition key when I start the engine - thumb on top, or thumb underneath? Either way the key is angled to coincide with the precise point at which my grip is weakest. Perhaps grasping it in my fist would be more effective. This, along with the awful purply-pink dashboard lighting and the lack of storage spaces, is one of the few niggles I have with a car that deserves better recognition of its green credentials.

Ali Hunt on Amazing Bamboo Socks
Who'd have thought you can get ethical socks for the same price as you'd pay in any department store? Now bamboo is the fastest growing plant in the world, so therefore it is very sustainable. Bamboo requires no pesticides to grow and once transformed in bamboo fiber is 100% biodegradable. The fibers are also antibacterial and anti static - so no smelly feet or shocks from your G-wiz/Bicycle/Public Transport!

Watch this space and keep reviewing -- there are some cool solar prizes lurking in the SmartPlanet cupboard that we'll be offering as a thank you for writing user reviews in June and July.

Pinnacle Journey 1.0 2008
Cheap and cheerful -- the Journey hits the value bullseye. And doesn't end up a horrible compromise in doing so.
Mezzo d-10
Too costly, particularly compared to its d-9 sibling. But despite that, this is the state-of-the-art for folding bikes -- fast, light, practical.
Puma Glow Rider
The emperor's new bicycle -- all marketing and no trousers. Over-expensive, handles and folds poorly, doesn't glow well enough, and is stealable despite the weird cable-cum-downtube.
Weleda Edelweiss Sun Lotion SPF 15
It's a very good, honest sun lotion and we appreciate that -- we're excited about Weleda as a company, but not overly so about this particular product
LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
