Happy St. David's Day!

My Beautiful Town!

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something....Green?!

Yes, eco-friendliness has reached the aisle. www.greenweddings.org.uk is a site allowing you to plan your ethical big day. Initially, this idea may seem a little OTT and it may be thought that your wedding day is one on which you can allow for a little luxury. However, if some people feel very strongly about environmental issues they may feel much happier knowing that they haven't gone against their principles on a day, which is all about what is important in their life.

Aside from these deep arguments, there are actually some quite quirky ideas that might make your wedding stand out from the crowd, regardless of whether you're deeply concerned with the environment. For example, throwing bird seed or rose petals as opposed to confetti actually sounds pretty romantic.

Why Formula 1 Is Good For The Environment...

Did everyone see the recent unveiling of Honda's new formula 1 model? A car that features no advertising logos but just a massive map of the world. The public can sponsor a pixel on this map and their money goes to a green organisation. So, not only does this raise money, it is meant to raise awareness among the millions of Formula 1 fans who will train their eyes on the car this year.

In addition, this year Max Mosely, head of FIA, explained his plans for Formula 1 cars to include new technology that would make them more environmentally friendly. He noted, ''This is quite clearly something that is and will be developed for the road and all the major manufacturers are working on different systems at this time. By allowing it in F1 we will be accelerating its introduction.'' In other words, with top F1 engineers working on improving the eco-friendliness of cars, it would happen at a much greater speed.

So, gas-guzzling and jet-setting aside, could Formula 1 be doing out planet some good?
