The Dott Cornwall Eco Design Challenge Exhibition had exhibits from all six finalists along with exhibits from Dott07 and some other Cornish entrants.
Host Will Coleman and Dr. Jo Henley offer feedback to one of the schools practicing their presentation.
Part of St Ives' success was down to their exuberant presentation that not only entertained, but contained cold, hard, facts about what they could achieve if they won the competition.
One of the three winners, Wadebridge School, also gave a very entertaining presentation of their CycleSafe idea. They won £4,000 for their trouble.
Here's Sir James Smith's School receiveing their cheque for £2,000, trophy and certificate for their iCan project.

The Green Energy Village at the 2010 Royal Cornwall Show, in a collaboration between Cornwall Development Company and Dott Cornwall is a showcase for the green energy suppliers of Cornwall. Dott is getting in on the action with three days of conversations about Green Business, Green Education and Green Family. The stand has its own Facebook® page @ Green Energy Village 2010
Cornwall's Green Future - come talk to us on stand 258 and have your say!
These conversations will be loosely based around the following themes, but can be led wherever the energy takes us...
1. How can we live more sustainably in the future?
2. Do we have the skills to lead the green economy?
3. How can we make new technologies work better for people?
4. What is the future for energy generation?
5. How can we raise the visibility of our green economy?
6. What is green energy all about?
To bring these conversations to as wide an audience as possible we are using the medium of Talkaoke, a live, people-led talk-show where the host wields the microphone and facilitates dynamic conversation between people who gather around the Talkaoke table. The conversation is projected live from the Talkaoke table’s broadcast system into whatever environment it lands in, mixing live, people-led conversation with the television-style excitement of a media spectacle. Talkaoke is an original and entertaining way to invite people to bring their own agenda to the table without using the traditional style of presenting to get ideas accross. Allowing people to decide what’s relevant to them makes for spontaneous and inclusive entertainment, evaluation, facilitation and learning. Visit www.talkaoke.com to find out more.
During the conversations we will be using the hash tag #GreenEnergyVillage on Twitter, come join the conversation!
Thursday 10th June

Last night, on my evening doggy walk, I was once again bowled over by how beautifully clear and starry the sky above my head was. This morning I was really saddened to read this:
The Campaign for Rural England (CPRE) in partnership with the Campaign for Dark Skies (CfDs) recently carried out a lighting nuisance survey. The survey found that eight out of ten people have their view of the night sky affected by light pollution and half have their sleep disrupted by light spilling into their bedrooms.
The survey revealed that the worst culprits that cause light pollution are:
. Road lighting (89%)
. Domestic security lights (79%)
. Older street lighting (77%)
. Businesses (56%)
. Sports grounds (53%)
. Supermarkets (41%)
If you would like to see the results and report go to: http://www.cpre.org.uk/campaigns/landscape/light-pollutionvisit
As a follow up, CPRE are now running 'The Star Count' in winter 2010 with the Campaign for Dark Skies. Their previous Star Count in winter 2006/7 attracted almost 2,000 participants and revealed that 54% of the population could see fewer than 10 stars in the Orion constellation, whereas in a truly dark sky you could see around 50 stars.
I hope the CoaST network will join me and get counting stars for 'Star Count 2010'!

An eco hotel in Copenhagen has started a new scheme today that will hopefully reduce the company's carbon footprint, promote fitness amongst its residents and fill their stomachs for free.
Any guest of the Crowne Plaza Hotel that cycles for about 15mins and generates 10W of electricity on specially prepared exercise bikes, will recieve a meal voucher to the value of $36. That equates to being paid almost £95 per hour!
Spokeswoman Frederikke Toemmergaard told the BBC News website. "Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym. There might be the odd person who will cycle just to get a free meal, but I don't think people will exploit the initiative overall,"
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition and 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest percentages in the world, according to the website visitcopenhagen.dk
The scheme will run for a year and if successful will be rolled out across all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK.

From April, for the first time, large non-energy intensive organisations, accounting for about 10 per cent of UK CO2 emissions, will be legally bound to monitor and report their emissions from energy use in preparation for carbon trading.
The scheme, known as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, will also give people and businesses the opportunity to compare organisations’ efforts to combat climate change for the first time. A report by the Environment Agency suggests that the scheme could reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 11.6million tonnes a year by 2020 - the equivalent to taking four million cars off the road.
The scheme will include household names such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Barclays, HSBC, Hilton, Marriott, Procter & Gamble, Unilever and Balfour Beatty. These businesses will be ranked according to reductions in energy use and improvements in energy efficiency alongside public sector organisations such as NHS trusts, local authorities and government departments.
For further information on the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme visit the Environment Agency web pages. Organisations affected by CRC can also contact the EA CRC helpdesk at crchelp@environment-agency.gov.uk.Chris posted - 13/04/10
The retail sector has many smaller businesses that are not subject to Environmental Permitting regulations, so this new guidance should be of great value.
All sectors have pollution incidents. In the retail and wholesale sector the businesses that were mainly responsible for severe pollution incidents include garages, petrol stations, DIY stores, dairies, food wholesalers and supermarkets.
The sector caused 2-3 per cent of all severe pollution incidents for the period 2005 to 2007. SMEs caused 53 to 77 per cent of these, whereas companies with more than 250 employees caused 15 to 40 per cent. During this period the most frequent causes of severe pollution incidents were failures of unbunded storage tanks and unauthorised discharge or disposal.
Between 2005 and 2008, prosecutions and cautions to this sector were most frequently associated with contraventions of the Producer Responsibility (Packaging) Regulations, for causing pollution of controlled waters, and for keeping, treating or transferring waste without a waste management licence.
NetRegs guidance for retail and wholesale businesses will help you check if your retail or wholesale business is complying with environmental regulations. Find out what you need to do with your waste, what you must do if you sell portable batteries, how to deal with packaging, and how to avoid causing pollution.

After a very in depth accreditation process Leap recently achieved Premier Status in Exeter City Council's prestigious Green Accord scheme for suppliers.
Green Accord operates in partnership with Global Action Plan (GAP), an independent environmental charity that provides a range of services to businesses, including subsidised help and advice.
The scheme demonstrates best practice and promotes the reduction of environmental impact through the whole supply chain by demanding practical actions and the instigation of alternative working practices. "It's about deeds not words."
The system is split into three tiers starting at Select level (red apple status) and increases through Superior level (yellow apple status) to the level that Leap achieved, the highest Premier level (green apple status).
Leap is very proud of its new status and is looking forward to working with Exeter City Council in the near future.

A couple of weeks ago an article in the Guardian caught our eye: "San Francisco gears up for age of electric car".
Suzanne Goldenberg, the Guardian's US environment correspondent stated that: "San Francisco has adopted building codes requiring all new homes and offices to be wired for electric car chargers, in an attempt to position itself as America's green car capital."
This move comes as little surprise, proving still further that California is the leading green state in the union. There is worry though from the energy companies and from advisers to Governor Schwarzenegger. Terry Tamminen, Arnie's energy and environment advisor said: "I have talked to energy executives who are very fearful about what will happen even if you get past 1,000 vehicles,"
With President Obama promising 1,000,000 electric cars on US roads by 2015, sceptics still don't believe that this is achievable, with only a handful of American cities focusing time and money on founding an electric car infrastructure.

Last week Andrea Siodmok, Programme Director of Dott Cornwall sent us a great quote she had come across whilst reading about the Davos summit.
In an article in Design Week entitled 'A tool for humanity', Angus Montgomery discusses the influence design could have on world events with a series of designers and facilitators.
In the article Montgomery interviews Brian Collins, founder of US design consultancy Collins and a member of the Global Agenda Council on Design:
"In Collins’ opinion, it is design’s ability to ‘connect strategy to craft’ that has made it such an important discipline for the Davos business leaders. ‘Davos has a massive appetite for design,’ he says, ‘particularly the way we [the GACD] are framing it.’
Last November, the GACD launched a manifesto at a WEF meeting in Dubai which states, ‘At a time of crisis and unprecedented change in every area of our lives - economic, political, environmental, societal and in science and technology - design is more valuable than ever. The crisis comes at a time when design has evolved. Once a tool of consumption chiefly involved in the production of objects and images, design is now engaging with developing and building systems and strategies, and in changing behaviour, often in collaboration with different disciplines.’"

Did anyone else notice over Christmas a sudden re emergence of the Energiser Man and the Duracell Bunny? I understand that in the great season to consume people need batteries to power all their new gadgets and gizmos, but with rechargeable technology getting exponentially better aren't the big brands accelerating towards their imminent demise?
As of January 1st 2010 it was made illegal to dispose of industrial and automotive batteries in landfill and by incineration. The only problem is that this is not an industry where the true problem lies; with over 90% of industrial batteries being recycled.
The next step is a set of regulations that applies to portable or household batteries and where the big costs for disposal truly lie. The regulations say that if a company produces more than one tonne of batteries in a year, they must pay into the Battery Compliance Scheme (BCS) that will arrange for the collection and recycling of household batteries. Distributors too will be affected, with any distributor selling more than 32 Kg of batteries a year having to provide a collection point from which the BCS will collect waste batteries.
The UK has the worst recycling rates for household batteries in Western Europe with less than 25% of batteries being saved from landfill. And that's the target the government is hoping for; 25% recycled by 2012 rising to 45% by 2016.

We were really honoured earlier this year to be given accreditation by The Ethical Company Organisation. Their flagship publication is now on sale in the form of The Good Shopping Guide and contains a couple of mentions for Leap as a new addition to the ranks of Ethical Award winners.
This is now the eighth edition of the guide and contains a huge amount of research into all areas of UK consumerism. In their own words: "everything from banks to butter and fax machines to fashion". The E.C.O. look into lots of criteria including animal welfare, boycott calls and pollution and is then tabulated for the ethical consumers to see what are the most ethical products in a given range.
The data in the table is then summarised in a diagram like the one below.

An island in the Baltic Sea has completed a 12 year journey to energy self-sufficiency reports the Independent.
The picture above shows one of the 21 wind turbines on (and just off) the 450 square-mile island of Samso, but that isn't the limit of the community's eco uptake. Arable farmers and forresters now have a profitable way of getting rid of their waste straw and lumber at the end of their respective seasons, in the island's biomass heat plants that heat every home within the 22 villages on Samso.
"Banks of man-sized solar panels lie in fields, kept trim by herds of bleating sheep. One farmer has even developed a special pump to use the warmth supplied by cow's milk to heat his home."

Above are a small selection of products available from a knitting co-op that has been going for over 11 years. Katy and I came across them for the first time a year or so ago whilst browsing a local charity shop in Billingshurst, West Sussex. Our whole family has admired our rhino tea cosy for all that time and (can you keep a secret?) we've gone back to them this Christmas for a few presents!
The co-op is based in Kenya and pays their members a fair wage and supports welfare projects across the Njoro region:
"The group generates two forms of income; buying the wool locally then creating more work by turning the wool into marketable products such as toys, bed-covers, scarves, hats and other accessories."
We were lucky enough to stumble across these really lovely things and haven't found them sold anywhere else. If you're stuck for one or two final gifts for Christmas, the rather basic PDF catalogue can be found HERE

As a company with one foot in the media industry, we like to keep on top of ours and our clients exposure in the press and online. I was surprised this morning to find that we were featured in an article about ISO-14001 accreditation and the EMS Easy tool and how it's helping SME's on an online green newsletter entitled GreenWise.
The article discusses the benefits of the EMS Easy tool kit and that it enables smaller businesses to gain accreditations that five years ago they wouldn't have considered possible or economical to aim for.
“Apart from Cornwall-based Leap Media, four of Global Action Plan’s clients have achieved ISO14001 using the tool kit in the past year – none of them employing more than 50 staff – dispelling the myth that environmental management standards are the sole preserve of large organisations.”
Leap previously worked for Global Action Plan and developed all branding and marketing collateral for their Envision project.
