"When my fuel gauge starts heading for the red, it's not a petrol station I start looking for, but a fast food restaurant!" Matthew Quinton has converted his Toyota Landcruiser into a CO2 neutral and zero emissions "green" car.
May is the month to start strengthening the immune system for winter. Which doesn't mean that you have to spend a fortune on exotic sounding and pricey supplements. The answer is quite simply on your doorstep - Parsley.
My quest for eco-friendly transportation continues this week with a fabulous little wonder - the Smart ForTwo. Probably one of the most recognisable vehicles on our roads at the moment this head-turner packs a far bigger punch than its modest size suggests. Big things do come in small packages.
The Prius is the result of 30 years of research and development towards Toyota's ultimate goal - the totally emission-free vehicle. Paving the way to that objective, the Prius is the most eco-friendly, mass-produced car on the planet with a string of accolades and 'firsts' to its name.
Strawberries are always a treat - whether it's a grand occasion or just an impromptu picnic. If you love the idea of growing your own strawberries now's the time to look out for young plants at nurseries and herb centres. Young strawberries planted in April will bear fruit in September. Recommended varieties are Selecta or Chandler.
Don't underestimate the power of peppermint (Mentha piperita). This quick and easy growing garden herb is the least invasive of the mint family and it has a multitude of uses in the home.
The rewards of growing herbs are far greater than with other plants. Other plants in the garden are mostly planted for their decorative value. Herbs, on the other hand, can also be used for a myriad of other purposes that stretch from flavouring your food to curing your flu to ridding your home of insects.
Soaring oil prices and concerns over the environmental impact of car emissions is surely going to bring about a huge change in consumer preference when it comes to choosing a new car. But what are the options available to us now, what information is there, and what does the future hold?
South Africa is very "lucky" to have some of the cheapest electrical power in the world. I put the lucky in parentheses because this luck is a double-edged sword. We pay far less for our power than consumers in most other nations yet our electricity is some of the dirtiest in the world and our per capita greenhouse gas emissions rank amongst the highest in the world.
Salad Burnet is a lesser-known herb that is well worth discovering. The fresh young leaves have a cucumber-like flavour so they can be used in salads and salad dressings, chopped up and added to cream cheese or soft cheese, used in herb butters, and added to casseroles and soup. The delicate, fern like leaves are an attractive garnish for both light summer meals and cooling cocktails.
