I know of a wonderful website which speaks about <a href="http://sun-touch.com/" rel="nofollow">suntouch floor warming mats</a>. These mats can offer you many advantages, including cleaner air, quieter operation, and possibly even significant savings over your traditional heating system.Suntouchmatshttp://www.sun-touch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-32888031350744419972007-07-06T01:03:00.000+01:002007-07-06T01:03:00.000+01:00This sounds cool.

Concentrating on cutting down car use, and improving community cohesion. does anyone have any links for this?<BR/><BR/>email me at mrchrismason@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>cheersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-1148421227058189732006-05-23T22:53:00.000+01:002006-05-23T22:53:00.000+01:00Great Read KenAre you going to do a "Reality Open ...Great Read Ken<BR/><BR/>Are you going to do a "Reality Open Day".

A link to his blog is:<BR/><BR/>http://james.butler.name/weblog/thegoodlife/thegoodlife.html<BR/><BR/>James used to work in the City of London and chose the Goodlife in the country, whilst I chose to hang on in suburbia.<BR/><BR/>I hope that we can present a series of comparisons between our sustainable lifestyles in future postings.<BR/><BR/>On the diary front, I spent today installing a shower cubicle and thermostaic shower in our new bathroom. It was great to actually get to use it after a whole day cursing and sweating over pile of incompatible plumbing fittings.<BR/><BR/>Tomorrow I have to fix the bath in place and get it sealed in place, and the on Monday I travel to rural Gloucestershire to collect another Lister engine.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile I am jealous of my mate Paul who just bought an immaculate Start-o-matic (Lister generator set) for £255 on eBay. Some you win, and some you lose.....<BR/><BR/>Rambling now, so blogging off.<BR/><BR/>KenKen Boakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168707285621954181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16736699.post-1126790615537286802005-09-15T14:23:00.000+01:002005-09-15T14:23:00.000+01:00Nice to see a new blog about sustainability.
