Eco Fashion Tammachat Tammachat is run by two lovely Canadian women, Ellen Agger and Alleson Kase. Both are highly knowledgable about fabrics, threads and fairly traded. They both bring a wealth of knowledge and hands on experience in supporting and empowering women and providing opportunities for traditional skills and crafts to be sustained. Working with women co-operatives in Laos and Thailand, they enable amazing slow fabrics and products to be supplied to the wider market outside of Laos and Thailand. http://www.tammachat.com Organic Rocket Gardens Rocket Gardens seedlings are grown under large traditional unheated glass greenhouses with plenty of ventilation and watering facilities in order to produce healthy and hardy growing plants. Once the plants are established they are taken outside to a hardening off area before being sent to their final destination. The seedlings are grown totally without the use of pesticides, herbicides, chemical sprays and fertilisers. Unlike some nurseries Rocket Gardens do not believe in using artificial heat to raise our plants. This avoids the burning of fossil fuels and provides for a hardier growing seedling. http://www.rocketgardens.co.uk/ Japan www.irashai.co.uk Irashai Services Ltd provides a selection of eco, artisan, bio products sourced directly from manufacturers and artisan producers, with specialist expertise from Japan, though also from the UK and Europe.

Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the heart of school life.

Eco Schools Programme is an excellent step in the right direction for schools who wish to become more sustainable at the same time gain achieved goals and recognition. http://www.eco-schools.org.uk/ |
