I was reading a proper newspaper today (usually just surf a few news sites on the www) but even the paper referred me to the internet......... I was looking for mothers day deals as I always get presents for my daughter from her animals, her being their mummy and me being their grandad.
Flowers are top of her list, she loves them but I had never considered 'flower miles' so from now on it's local grown stems for us.
The website I was pointed to is http://www.wigglywigglers.co.uk , a bit pricey but they do have that peace of mind factor if you worry as much as I do about our planet.

Ooohhh
Ive just noticed all the green freindly adverts showing.
These google ads do work sometimes
Funny though because the company who do the green flowers and claim to be very ethical have servers for there webhosting NOT HERE IN THE UK but in the following countries:
Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Chicago

So the carbon footprint for there hosting company wouldnt be great!
Why dont ethical companies use green hosting with 100% carbon neutral servers?
Its something i would do if i was a green company i would look at everything from website hosting to postage and couriers etc.

Very good point Daniel, I would build it green from the ground-up as well .... might just be drafting an email to them after lunch

If you send them an email here is a link to google results showing the companies who provide eco hosting.
Its a straight forward thing to transfer hosting and i do it on a daily basis

It does seem daft to provide an eco freindly service and not consider these things.

I sent a short email and hope you dont mind Daniel I quoted you, I think you deserve the credit for such a valid point
