A new exhibition by Ben Cook at the Eden Project will highlight the fact that many surf-related objects are non bio-degradable and toxic to the marine environment.
Support Greenpeace campaign against power-crazy incandescent bulbs
'As you might have heard, last week Ireland became the first country in the EU to ban power-crazy incandescent bulbs and it's going to happen early in 2009 - that's just over 12 months away!
This is brilliant news. Not only does it mark the beginning of the end for incandescent bulbs in Europe, it also proves our own government is dragging its feet. Earlier this year, a voluntary phase-out of inefficient bulbs by the end of 2011 was announced which even at the time looked pretty rubbish. Thousands of small retailers aren't covered by the scheme so incandescent bulbs will still be on sale beyond that date. Ireland's tough new legislation now makes this initiative look even more feeble.'
