This video is, apparently, what happens when you let geeks loose on the pressing question of energy efficiency. Tech Digest's Gary Cutlack is clearly on the right track when it comes to the complex science of turning stuff off, but should he perhaps be focusing more on the C02 cost of his idiot toys rather than blaming everything on his poor old fridge? Proof if proof be needed that nutrition is a mere accessory to the truly dedicated gadget freak, I'd say...
At one point or another, it's likely you'll have given the Woodland Trust some money towards planting a tree, and soon you'll be able to see the full impact of your generosity as the Trust prepares to purchase a vast 850 acre site, with the sole intention of filling it with trees! The site, which was until recently shrowded in myster, has now been named as Sandridge, near St Albans, Herts.
A continuous native forest of this size has never been created in England before, so this is a huge project. If you'd like to put your weight behind this epic project and be responsible for one of the trees, it's easy to donate online.

We've been having a lot of fun at Shiny Towers this week with the foot-powered can crusher by Ecozone; a nifty little device that lets you squash empty cans for easier recycling. I'm pretty sure I should have worn more sensible footwear to give this gizmo a fair trial, but considering the high-heeled handicap we gave it, I think it stood up pretty well!
The Ecozone can crusher is available for £14 at Big Green Smile
This week, I've been testing the Nokia 3110 Evolve; the greenest phone currently on the market. Watch the video below to find out how I got on with it!
Forget Earth hour! 1st April is Energy Wasting Day. A list of tips on the best ways to waste energy has been published in advance of the occasion, including "fill the kettle right up to the brim and make yourself a nice little cup of tea" and "turn your thermostat up to the max and pop on a pair of shorts".
You can always trust good old Heathy to get enthusiastic about the environment, and here he is doing what he does best in a new video to promote home recycling. Visit recycle now for more info on disposing of your rubbish the green way.
I've been checking out a new range of natural cleaning products by the fabulous Isabella Smith Apothecary. The Maison Belle range is green as they come, but it still dealt admirably with our very messy kitchen...take a look in the video below.
