Natural Choices Media

A company
 

About Us

 
  Natural Choices Media is an online publishing company dedicated to supplying the latest news and information for consumers and businesses who want to make more ethically responsible choices in their day to day life and work. To try and live more ethically requires reliable sources on what is the story behind the headlines, the hard facts and the issues that need to be balanced to make an informed choice.

We publish the eco and ethical news site www.naturalchoices.c... for the UK market and are in the process of llooking at a number of different but related online services such as a free ethical products and services directory, a site dedicated to investing ethically, and maybe a practical DIY site for low energy living.

Reuse all grey water emitted to flush toilets and water gardens

adopted 1 year ago, created 1 year ago by Ollie Stewart and shared with 0 other profiles - 2 comments
Olli, we go a littel beyond that as we live in a low water area. So we have dry composting toilets that don't use any water, and all our grey water- from washing/shower/sink is filtered in a series of reed beds and then used to water the vegetable plots. We also capture and store rainwater for irrigation.

Redcuce my long haul flights to one a year and positively carbon off set it

adopted 1 year ago, created 1 year ago by Ollie Stewart and shared with 0 other profiles - 2 comments
Olli, I think it is a good idea to look 'holistically' at your carbon footprint. That is look at the totality of your carbon emissions. Flying, if you have a low carbon footprint in the rest of your life is not nessesarily bad. For example the fastest growing emissions sector is the enourmous expansion of servers and the IT infrastructure. Also a very careful look at off setting is important. Better to cut down your carbon footprint in other areas to compensate for flying than using off setting to waylay green guilt ;-)
