Environmental law looks good! | 26.1.10

We Huskies have a particular love of things sustainable, environmental and efficient. Working with Auckland lawyer Vernon Rive (who specialises in environmental, resource management and public law) to put together his branding, stationery, website and blog was thus an exciting and synergetic project for us. Vernon's stationery boasts vegetable-based inks and recycled stocks - yummy yummy - and we believe both his new website and blog are going to become key discussion centres for the industry. Vernon Rive helps make the world a better place and if you need a green lawyer, he's your man!

Food, Glorious Food | 18.1.10

Food - we all love it and need it! But often we don't realise the sacrifices made or costs incurred globally for us to enjoy it. Morever, we barely notice the people in our own communities struggling to have enough. We enjoyed the challenge of working on the latest booklet from the Social Justice Commission which looks at food from both a global and local perspective. It's full of handy tips, resources and challenges - subscribe and get yourself a copy from the people over at the Social Justice Commission.

Buy Organic Because... | 1.7.08

...there are a whole pile of fruits and vegetables that are known to be highly pesticide-exposed. Noshtopia published this list of some of the most pesticide-contaminated produce at your average supermarket, of which we had little clue.

Apples >> Capsicum >> Celery >> Nectarines >> Strawberries >> Cherries >> Lettuce >> Grapes >> Pears

Many of these fruit and veges are things we eat every day, so it's good to sharpen up. (If all this organic blah blah just makes you tired, you can relax about buying organic for fruit like bananas, oranges, tangerines and grapefruit because you hiff the skin anyway).
