Merry Christmas everyone and we hope you have a prosperous new year!!!

As part of our Green agenda we will not be sending Christmas cards to our customers or partners, but will put this money aside to buy more Rainforest in the Amazon via 'Sponsor A Tree' organisation. In know what your thinking, we're just being a tight Scottish Scrooge... but I promise you that we will buy more Rainforest.

Having read Prince Charles' stark warning that we have just '100 months to act' on global warming (Metro 13 March 09), we have decided to become carbon balanced via The World Land Trust in order to protect the Rainforests and re-plant new forests in the UK. We understand that offsetting carbon emissions is not enough on it's own and have introduced a new environmental policy to tackle the serious issue of our carbon footprint. If you would like to know more about what you can do to protect the environment, please contact us for more information.

Sandra White, MSP, invited me to a meeting to discuss the main issues concerning SMEs in the current economic climate. I informed Sandra that now is not the time to abandon green initiaives and she was supportive to my vision and plans to reduce the amount of wood going to landfill sites. Did you know that “about 85% of waste wood in the UK goes to landfill.. from building firms to local councils, organisations dump around 8.5m tons of wood into holes in the ground every year” according to The Sunday Times (9 Nov 08, Section 3 Business, Recycling sees the big picture pp IV).

Just read in the free daily newspaper Metro (1 Oct 08) about a Mr Stirling (59), of Peacehaven in East Sussex, who slipped while cutting branches in a tree and lopped his arm off. Luckily for him his neighbour dialled 999, found the arm and put it into a bag of frozen sausage rolls. The hospital staff managed to reattach the arm and Mr Stirling is doing well. Mr Stirling is a lucky guy, but the healing process will take years and I’m no doubt he will leave tree pruning to professional tree care firms from now on.This incident has inspired me to give out free tree cutting advice.
