Black Gold and the Ice By:-Ruca Martin
It’s a rare business plan that involves visiting the pale severity of the Arctic, but for those companies that do send their employees into the wilderness the return can be sizable For these companies it’s not what’s visible in this fragile, remote and utterly unique portion of the world, but rather what is hidden, beneath the surface, swirling in giant lakes; the dark liquor of the deep earth that yells up to the oil prospectors through the ice, apparently desperate to be pumped upwards and put to use in our cars and factories

Sustainable Development and Harry Hill is Fairtrade Nuts By:-Ruca Martin
We live in the age of the celebrity endorsement, so much so that it is often impossible not to think about a certain footballer when shopping for our latest pair of pants, or a certain model when lathering our scalps with a particular brand of shampoo

Support Your Local Leading Independent Electricity Supplier By:-Ruca Martin
It seems that less and less consumers feel as strongly as they once did about supporting their local stores, fearing that the national supermarket chains are becoming all too powerful and could eventually dictate what and where we buy
