School's out, which means holidays and nice quiet roads for my daily bicycle commute. Before you jet off to somewhere hot and end up buying some no-name sunscreen packed with chemicals, check out So Organic - it's doing a deal on one Lavera sunscreen and aftersun for £19 (you get a free shower gel too). Lavera was the first company to make a 100 per cent mineral-based sunscreen, free from - to quote Lavera - "petrochemicals, parabins, artificial flavours, colours, aromas, no sodium lauryl or laureth sulphate". In addition to feeling content that you're not poisoning yourself, you could go one further and visit Future Forests to offset your personal carbon emissions from the flight. It won't save the world, but it's a step in the right direction, right?
