ethical consumer delight

I could write a lot about what I have just read in the last issue of the Ethical Consumer, but it doesn't make much sense. Just subscribe it!!

But to encourage you a little bit, just let me tell you about how they treated the topic of refrigerators...
- a ranking of brands (how ethical are they)
- a ranking of energy saving fridges
- explanation of different eco labels
- tips about how to save even more energy (e.g. by not putting the fridge next to the dishwasher)
- tips about buying even greener (e.g. buy the smallest model that suites your needs)
- disussing the questions whether it's better in terms of sustainability to replace the old fridge with the new one
- info about disposing an old fridge
- info about the Furniture Re-Use Network, leasing, fridge sharing, producing an evaporative cooler and doing without a fridge
- company profiles with a special part about the cooperative one.

That's what I call a complete apporoach!! And that's why I love it!
