We’re often told that going green means keeping it local - which is all well and good but does pose a few problems for fair trade products coming from developing countries.
The dilemma is dividing us into two camps - those whose priority is the environment and local communities, and those for whom issues of social justice - human rights [...]
Well here’s an innovative idea. How do you get couples to be climate friendly and stay friendly with each other (i.e. not get divorced)?
In the Sragen region of Java in Indonesia -a country criticised for its rapid deforestation -couples will apparently be required to fund the planting of 5 trees in their local area if [...]

One of my biggest ‘green guilt’ dilemmas is our honeymoon. Phil and I have always desperately wanted to visit China. As soon as we talk about our honeymoon we can imagine it straight away – three weeks backpacking from Hong Kong to Beijing followed by a week in the Phillipines to dive some of the [...]
Below is a post I wrote for Newlyweds-uk.com… but I thought I would share it with you here too - your comments are always welcome!
Another week and another inbox full of questions from journalists wanting to get the lowdown on the growing interest in ethical and green weddings.

Today, I am pleased to pass you over once again to our blogger bride, Jenny:
“We plan to sign the legal marriage register the day before our wedding, so that we can hold our ceremony and reception wherever we want and write our own vows.
I love the idea of being able to marry somewhere close to [...]
