Whilst searching the web for various sites in the same vein, we found Junkk.com – a resource for all things environmental. A bit of mutual cross-promotion ensues, but quite frankly we think they’re doing a great job of promoting the renewable/recycle/reuse ethos very well. Their site is split into distinct sections, covering:

• Ideas – with an absolutely massive repertoire of UGC (user generated content) in the form of recycling ideas, innovative uses for household surplus and other similar items
• A thriving forum for likeminded types to discuss all things renewable
• A local section dedicated to promoting recycling/reusing in your area (including an A-Z directory)
• An articles area, though it doesn’t seem to have been updated much recently
• A shop

Definitely worth a look if you have some spare time, and best of all - it’s free to register and view content & ideas. Good work!

We spotted the Vaillant ads on TV recently, and rather liked them: “Vaillant thinks ahead” is the company slogan, and seems to be quite fitting. They produce a range of high-efficiency boilers, solar water heaters and other advanced products aimed at helping you, the homeowner, become greener.

This kind of overt advertising can only be a good thing for helping raise awareness of the carbon footprint issue and – more importantly – helping save you money in the long run by being more efficient.

The Vaillant site has linked out to the Low Carbon Buildings Programme website (www.lowcarbonbuildings.org.uk), which features a lot of information regarding grants for your home (for more efficient power tech) and info about microgeneration technologies (small wind turbines in your garden, for example).

We’re particularly interested because there’s a section on how the government can help fund your more-efficient under-floor heating – which is something we’ve wanted for years now!

Definitely worth a read.
