So this is Christmas and what have you done?

Categories: Business, Environment

We hear these words every year and every year they may mean something or maybe they don’t mean something. Maybe they just pass us by with all the other Christmas traffic – shopping, turkeys, top of the pops, the snowman and Nigella.

Rechargeable Battery Management for the Home or Office

Categories: Energy, the green house

Earlier this year, I decided to start a rechargeable battery regime at my sister’s house, after noticing that the family used a lot of AA and AAA size batteries. This is mostly because of the handheld controllers for games consoles, such as the Xbox 360 and the Wii which use batteries very quickly.
There are numerous other devices which use batteries as well, such as TV and Cable box remote controls, clocks, wireless mouse and keyboard and even the new electric soap dispensers!

Packaging, do we really need that much?

Categories: Card, Environment, Recycling, the green house

We all buy stuff from eBay and Amazon from time to time. We choose the product we like, add it to the basket, pay and have it delivered to our doors in few days.

In both of above scenarios we are very cautious about getting the goods delivered in one piece, either we are a buyer or seller. This is when we consider packaging.
