Eco Chic followed me on Twitter earlier today and, as you do, I went to see who they are. I’m delighted to see an eco friendly website that doesn’t perpetually ram home the cycling, recycling, hair shirt existence (I know this isn’t fair, but sometimes it can feel that way). You can enjoy the good [...]

Not a straightforward sharing proposition, but these novel floating offices could enable people to make much greater use of marina space. And what a great place to have an office. I’m busily working on my new office for yours2share at the moment and offices with a great view are close to my heart. Fortunately yours2share’s new [...] Whenever I’ve spoken to the Financial Times, or other publications aimed at people earning higher salaries, about yours2share and sharing in general, I’ve tended to get a fairly sniffy response.

If you are happy to tell me about [...] This article about rental websites in the Boston Globe came to my attention today. I’m pleased to find out about a few more rental websites, I knew about Rentalic but there are several mentioned that I hadn’t heard about before. As the article says: But the biggest challenge may be cultural. Americans are accustomed to having many [...] I read with interest this post on the monbiot blog I’ve recently discovered about an interview with Lord Turner in the Guardian.
