Doffed caps to Debbie Callender and her bloke Ray O'Neill, who between them have come up with a really superb new veggie cooking blog Fiver Food. Debbie is a real natural in front of the camera and the videos (and indeed the choice of recipies) are first class.
They will apparently be uploading two new videos each week. Anyhow here's the vid for Veggi Chow Mein.
What do adults do when try as they might, they can't come up with a solution to a seemingly intractable problem? A popular solution is seeking an answer through the mouths of babes, and when the issue is as pressing and as controversial as the environment, why not seek the ideas of those untainted by the million and one problems and prejudices that plague adult pundits?
That's what Persil figured, and they've enlisted Phillippa Forrester to help prise out those planet-saving solutions. In this video, you can see just a few of the bright ideas they've already managed to glean from young minds up and down the country.
I most know Natalia Imbruglia for being a singer (and sometimes an actress) but it seems she's also a campaigner for environamental issues! She's teamed up with Ecover to make the film below about the importance of water cycles.
Natalie said: "There's often an abundance of water in the UK, so it's easy to forget the very real issues of water shortage and pollution in other parts of the world. The video is a great way to learn more and offers some really simple tips on how we can all make a difference.
"
Please visit Natalie's guest spot on Water Aid's site, where you can also order a free watercare pack to find out how hard your money can work to solve problems of safe water and sanitation in Ethiopia
I had to share this video clip that was brought to my attention today that might just scoop the award for 'most offensive commercial video clip ever' if such a thing were to exist. The premise seems to be a bunch of BK stooges showing up in various remote parts of the world as yet untainted by fast food and handing out free burgers in order to see how 'BK virgins' react to being given the nutritionally-dubious snacks. Patronising much?
Wrapping paper has got to be one of the most blatant displays of waste that Christmas subjects us to, and the number of trees that have given their lives to conceal our presents at Christmas alone has been estimated to be as high as 50,000. You can help the situation by re-using old paper, or buying only recycled giftwrap. But an even better solution is using fabric that can be re-used to make your own beautifully wrapped gifts.
In the video below, Recycle Now takes you through one option: the Japanese art of fabric-wrapping: Furoshiki.
He's got a meteorology degree! He re-uses bags! He switches stuff off! But can you guess where Tech Digest's Duncan Geere will fall down on the eco living front? Watch the video to find out.
I've been banging on about Asus's trend-setting bamboo laptop for ages now, but it wasn't until this week that Shiny Towers finally got to play host to this long-awaited PC.
Tech Digest's Duncan had a play, and gives his views in the video below.
