Geek Desk Spaces – Customised Creativity

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Finding your own creativity, whether at home or in your office.

It takes a combination of hardware, comfort (Aeron chair, cough), and inspiration to get you working productively.

Supporting Plastic-Bag Free Brighton

Monday, March 31st, 2008

We are pleased to offer our support to Plastic bag free Brighton. A new community campaign to bring together those of us who want to make Brighton plastic bag free.

Although we don’t tend to use too many bags in our web design and development services, we feel that by highlighting this cause we can help other people think about the environmental consequences of using the bags.

Learn more at www.plasticbagfreebrighton.co.uk

The site gives details of suppliers of plastic bag alternatives, as information becomes available (wholesale and retail) and facts and figures about the detrimental effects plastic bags are having on the environment.

On the site is a excellent video named ‘The amazing adventures of a plastic bag’ – a short film written, shot and edited by the children of Balfour Junior School, Brighton. Looking at the pollution in our city.

Together we can make Brighton and Hove the first plastic bag free city!
