Silky Hemp Tie Side Knickers – Natural

These beautiful tie-sided knickers are 60% hemp and 40% silk, meaning that the fabric is luxuriously soft, but durable at the same time.

Why Hemp?

Natural fibres seem to suit underwear because they tend to harmonise with our most sensitive regions. Hemp is a natural fibre, and it blends beautifully with other natural fibres, including silk and organic cotton. Hemp is the ultimate natural fibre, and unlike cotton it can grow practically anywhere, even on otherwise unusable land.

One of the great benefits of hemp is that pesticides are rendered unnecessary, as insects can’t stand the plant! Pesticides are the main cause of humanitarian and environmental problems associated with fibre production. Herbicides are also unnecessary as hemp grows far quicker than any weed.

Cupid Ring – silver La Jewellery

This stunning range has become one of our most extensive collections, with two torques – a large, two heart version and a smaller, single heart version – as well as a bangle bracelet and earrings.

The pretty, feminine, ‘Cupid’ ring now joins the collection as the perfect finishing touch.

At La Jewellery, we employ part time staff and we pay them over minimum wage per hour. This is not a boast to make us look good, it is simply a fact and it is done consciously, to support the principles we operate under.

Quite simply, we value our staff and the system of payment we employ, ‘piece work’ (a system where payment is made per item of jewellery completed), enables us not only to pay them in accordance with our commitment to their skill and creativity, it also allows both me and them a greater sense of work/life balance. In addition, it fits in with our ‘Fair Trade’ policy, which we believe should be an integral part of the British culture as much as it is abroad.

So, our jewellery assemblers are paid in a way which best facilitates them working from the comfort of their homes, meeting the needs of family members and living life with a greater degree of freedom, while still gaining an income. It also allows us as a company to further our belief in the principles of the ‘SLOW’ Movement and fulfill these beliefs in a tangible way.

The double walled, porcelain cup comes complete with a removable silicone lid, so you can have your regular morning coffee without adding to the landfill problem.
In the USA alone there are an estimated 25 billion ‘disposable’ coffee cups thrown away each year. The fact that, due to health regulations, the vast majority (90%+) of the paper in these cups is brand new virgin paper does not help matters. You might think, then, that the cups themselves could be recycled, right? Wrong! During manufacturing the cups are laminated with a plastic resin (polyethylene) in order to insulate and seal the cups. This prevents recycling, and ensures that every single laminated paper cup ends up in landfill and begins to decompose. As it does, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas with 23 times the heat trapping power of carbon dioxide.
So, do your bit. Grab yourself a new mug, and make a stand against wasteful paper cups.

Ecover natural cleaning product ‘leaves surfaces gleaming’

Ecover_180x70 Consumers who wish to use natural cleaning products rather than their chemical-based alternatives in a bid to make themselves more eco-friendly in the New Year could consider Ecover’s Multi Surface Spray Cleaner.

Julia Stringer, writing for the Daily Mail’s Green Queen column, recommended the Belgian brand’s product as a great way to help householders tackle the all the extra cleaning which often seems to be generated during the festive period.

According to the correspondent, Ecover’s Multi Surface Spray is a powerful cleaner despite its organic credentials and should leave worktops “gleaming”.

“Only sustainable plant-based and mineral ingredients are used, not a petrochemical in sight,” she added.

Her advice comes after Ecover warned that consumers could be led astray by the bewildering array of natural cleaning products which are available on the market.

“Today it suffices to just slap some green paint on a product to call it green,” the company’s director of marketing Bernard Caron told AFP.
