Out of this World

Protecting and improving
our quality of life

The environment is an important area of ethical consumerism.

The world is using up valuable resources at an unsustainable level and losing hundreds of species every decade. Global warming and pollution are potentially disastrous. We buy products which have a minimal environmental impact on the earth. They are made from sustainably managed resources. They are energy efficient, recyclable and durable.

Household products
Our eco-friendly range includes washing powders and cleaning products made from biodegradable ingredients and packaged in recyclable materials.

We only stock body care and cosmetics ranges from suppliers who maintain the strictest code of practice against animal testing.

Stationery and gifts
We also stock a wide variety of recycled paper products, stationery and wrapping paper, plus letter-writing kits made out of disused sea charts and ordnance survey maps, and of course the brilliant Baygen wind-up radio and torches.
