In this video Paul McCartney explains the benefits of teaching our children about food and how they are embracing their future through making small changes. It is well documented that meat production has a much higher price on the environment that the production of veg. We have been having meat free meals many days through the week with thanks to our new organic veg box and organic shopping. We are not vegetarian but we don't feel that every meal revolves around meat but that really hasn't always been the case. It's not difficult to swap meat for some really hearty...

Who would have thought that so much pollution can come from farming beef for the traditional American burger industry. This video shows the extent of the damage that farming cows and the production of burgers is having on our precious environment.

We've all heard the phrase 100% organic, but what does it mean and why is it good for us and our planet? What is the difference between a 100% organic cotton T-Shirt and a cotton T-Shirt?

While this seems to be a topic for hot debate one thing remains true - if you had enough to have a headache surely you have had too much anyway. If however (and it is approaching the festive season) you want to try out some organic wines we have found these stockists who may be able to temp your taste buds. Look carefully...
