Google proves that people don’t care as much as you

It’s important to me. And it’s important to you. Or it should be. But Google has shown me that it isn’t. Well, to most of you. I know there are a few exceptions. And to make it even worse, I suspect that those exceptions are people like me working out who else cares. Let me […]

Temperature Danger Zone – Free Poster

We are giving away free copies of our Temperature Danger Zone poster. Actually, I don’t think it is possible for us to sell free copies of our Temperature Danger Zone poster so there is possibly a bit of redundancy in that last statement.

CO2 Monitor in Meeting Rooms

After taking a CO2 Monitor on a train, I then took the KeepAlert CO2 Monitor into a meeting room in the city. This was a totally self-enclosed meeting room with no windows.

The NSW web site even goes on the show how much money you save by switching to a compact fluorescent […]

Room Air Quality

With winter starting here in Australia, people are now starting to shut up and heat up. We make sure the doors are shut, windows closed, and we are kept warm and snug.

Remember the ad? Wash your hands Jeffery, with the Solvol Jeffery. How often and when should I wash my hands? If you were Jeffery it was only when you were coming inside after a hard day playing in the garden, and when your mother told you. The basics for good hand hygiene are: after going […]

Foodwise

Foodwise is a website dedicated to reducing how much food is thrown away. It does have the slightly ambiguous statement of “Australians throw out $7.8 billion worth of food every year”. I know it felt like I spend billions on food, but I think it means all together. One page in particular has some great tips […]
