Survey Says...

Earlier this year I took part in a survey by ECOVER regarding ecological products, recycling, and general attitudes to the environment, that my sister put me onto. As I completed the survey some time ago I could not remember how long they were keeping it open for.

Well yesterday I received a letter thanking me for my participation and announcing me one of the lucky winners of these books! I am still reading at the moment but am looking forward to sharing the little gems they no doubt contain with you soon!

    I was introduced to an environmental product called simply active Eco Smart washing tabs at Christmas. I have found them very good and the washing machine also seems to like them, its quieter.
    They do products for dish washers, not much use to me as I dont have one.

I posted about cellophane a while ago as the last remaining refuse that I cannot recycle and my very good friend Tom at Wiggers World kindly told me this! "Cellulose belongs to a class of compounds known in organic chemistry as carbohydrates. The base unit of cellulose is the glucose molecule. Thousands of these glucose molecules are brought together in the plant growth cycle to form long chains, termed cellulose. These chains are in turn broken down in the production process to form cellulose film used in either an uncoated or coated form in packaging. When buried, uncoated cellulose film is generally found to degrade within 10 to 30 days; PVDC-coated film is found to degrade in 90 to 120 days and nitrocellulose-coated cellulose is found to degrade in 60 to 90 days. Tests have shown that the average total time for complete bio-degradation of cellulose film is from 28 to 60 days for uncoated products, and from 80 to 120 days for coated cellulose products. In lake water, the rate o

Social Screening?

Ok , here's the first topic, I'm starting simple. We have all at some point been subject to one form of social screening, whether it is our car insurance company upping our premium on receipt of our postcode, or our bank or credit card company rating our risk as a fraudster or potential debtor by means of our housing type, marital status or income. My topic for discussion today sees this system taken one step further. Call centres have begun to tag particular numbers within their customer databases in order to differentiate between 'less desirable' and 'more desirable' customers. Callers who are deemed to be more affluent are often dealt with as a priority. You as the customer are being assessed, classified and dealt with accordingly. Britain has already been subdivided into 17 groups categorised by the likelihood of that area having high levels of 'financial services fraud', based on social profiles of each area, by Leeds University Credit Management Re

I noticed there have been no pictures in recent posts and thought there should really be one to brighten things up a little. I have therefore chosen this lovely photo of Mel Gibson for you to enjoy! Image Credit: Huge Reviews.
