Beautiful lampshades by  British designer Michelle Mason. The artist digitally prints on unbleached natural cotton canvas or linen, using only water based inks which are non-toxic.  The fabric is made into lampshades by a local family run company.  Small quantities are produced, eliminating waste and ensuring low energy consumption.  Digital print, unlike screen print, cuts down vastly on water consumption and harmful chemicals and is therefore a much more eco-friendly method of printing.  One cold water wash, to fix the print, is all that is needed and it isn’t even necessary to use soap powder.  Eco certified.

Not long ago it was considered fairly radical to buy organic produce, and the phrase &ldquo;ethical food&rdquo; was almost unheard of. Today, millions of us are trying to improve out health, and the planet, by eating not only organic, healthy, additive-free food, but food that has been produced responsibly. It&rsquo;s little wonder, however, that with politicians, farmers, retailers, food manufacturers and the media frequently providing conflicting information, we&rsquo;re often left feeling trapped in a web of uncertainty, doubt and misinformation. The Green Food Bible aims to cut through this complicated maze and offers a guiding hand on a wide range of issues.

Bamboo has been praised as the new eco-friendly textile of the future.&nbsp; It thrives without pesticides and can be converted into yarn without the addition of chemicals.&nbsp; Thanks to the unique make-up of Bamboo fibre, these amazing bamboo towels absorb moisture at three times the rate of cotton.&nbsp; Bamboo fibre is also antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti static.&nbsp; The towels can be laundered at 40&deg;C, rinsed thoroughly and tumble-dried if desired at a low to medium heat.&nbsp; We do not recommend the use of fabric softeners for towels, as they tend to block-up the fibres leading to reduced absorbency.

Could giant solar farms in the Sahara provide all of Europe&rsquo;s electricity? Can we really expect to make petrol from wood and straw? Could burying charcoal help solve global warming? And can green energy help to revive the world economy? Combining cutting-edge analysis and the fascinating stories of invertors, scientists and entrepreneurs, Ten Technologies to Save the Planet answers these and many other questions, and busts a raft of myths along the way. Assessing everything from electric cars and carbon capture through to tidal turbines in the violent waters of the Pentland Frith, Chris Goodall doesn&rsquo;t pretend that the road ahead is easy, but he shows that we have the technology in development to address climate change. Engaging and authoritative, this is popular science writing at its most crucial.
