Dear Readers
2009 will undisputably be a Green Year. The green job's market is growing 5% anually, analysts predict green business to be the biggest growth market in 2009 despite the economy, even the Oscars have a green theme this year and America is inaugarating a president commited to 'green policy'.
The begining of a new year always brings change, children start their first or new year at school, some of us may be moving home or jobs and others will just feel the need to put a fresh coat of paint on the walls. We have articles that cover it all and point you towards the green choice.
At the start of this fresh new year what better time to start making a comittment to a healthier, greener lifestyle and take our green resolutions pledge.
Wishing all our readers and members a happy, prosperous and green start to your new year.
Kind Regards
Andrea Firth

 It’s not long now before the kids go back to school. That means school traffic will be back on the road and tons of new school equipment and uniforms will be bought by parents. The toll on the environment is considerable. Most teachers have some influence over their students who will normally feel obligated to do as a teacher asks in the classroom. This means that one single teacher can cause an entire class to become more eco-friendly and that is a remarkable thing.
