To have a totally environmentally friendly purchasing policy you need to look at the cradle to grave analysis of every product. This means looking at:

-where it comes from,

-what sort of pollution occurred in the production

-any possible toxic by-products produced

-derivation from non-renewable resources

-energy needed to transport it to your home

-was it produced locally or the other side world

-what happens when you have no more use for it

-the potential for it be reused, or recycled

-the problems its eventual disposal will create

This is a huge task and not one that can be easily undertaken by the individual.

Greenhouses
Britain has been bitten by the green-fingered bug in recent times as more people are beginning to grow their own crops and pot their own plants. The latest series of River Cottage on channel 4 highlighted this fact as people are growing their own produce on any available land that they can find. The fortunate ones are in the position of having their own Greenhouses where they can produce a wide array of plants. If they have the land they can invest in large freestanding types of glass houses but smaller versions are also available if space is of a premium. Pretty ranges of hexagonal Greenhouses are available and they can be fitted with a range of shelving. The toughened glass on the units provides plenty of heat and light to the plants that are growing inside. Some folks like to buy the hexagonal units as they use them as glorious garden rooms. The larger varieties have more than enough room inside to provide a dedicated spot for a selection of garden chairs or even a garden bench. If you love spending time in the garden you are going to adore the latest ranges of Greenhouses that are now available.
