Gloucestershire’s greenest retailer wants you to join their Facebook Forest group. As part of their commitment to the planet Ecotopia.co.uk are planting a tree for every 50 members of its Facebook Forest group and another tree for every 50 customers.

The first Facebook Forest is being planted on a small plot of land just outside Minchinhampton (see the site on Google Earth) on the edge of what is to be the first carbon neutral market garden. Lucy Offord, creator of the market garden is excited about the project that compliments the new carbon neutral market garden that she is developing and thinks that it will be a great point of interest in the local area.

This is the first of many planned sites where Ecotopia will be helping to create new woodlands in the UK. They are hoping to find more projects to get involved in. Steve Jones, director of Ecotopia says, “We are delighted to establish our first forest. By planting indigenous species, forests can support themselves and after a short period of time will begin to support an entire ecosystem which will benefit the local countryside. We would be delighted to hear from any organisations and groups who would be interested in benefiting from having their own small Facebook Forest.�

Newsflash! There’s a UK mobile service provider who cares more about the environment than making massive profits.

Green Mobile has some great packages that give something back to the environment. Firstly, they encourage you to keep your current phone rather than upgrade when you switch to them. They offer refurbished phones with contracts as well as new “greener” phones, and plant trees or support an environmental charity for every new customer. And to top it all off, their line rental is cheaper than that of Orange, Vodafone, T-mobile and O2.

What are greener phones?

Green Mobile are set to be the first to introduce the new “Sunflower Phone” to the UK. It’s a totally biodegradable phone that has a built-in seed that will grow once the phone is planted in the ground.

Find out more and switch at the Green Mobile website.
