ES Environmental issue
I always wait with eager anticipation for the annual environmental edition of ES magazine (the Evening Standard’s very good Friday glossy). I am always dying to know what the rich and famous can teach me about being green. Last year, a prominent New York socialite revealed she was holding an eco ball in New York to save the Hudson River (great!). She and a few close friends were flying by private jet to Italy the week before to get their dresses from Donatella Versace (fab - why bother with Bloomies for such an important cause!?). This week’s does not disappoint, as the face of M&S reveals the new eco-friendly company is doing a photo shoot to emphasise its green credentials - the shoot’s in South Africa.

Investment idea
Creating SMART HUBS by bringing together different players for the purpose of sustainable growth of local economies and attracting city dwellers to invest in environment. There is a potential for development by combining the use of post offices in rural areas and turning them into satellite internet hubs+ smart agriculture centers + environmental monitoring focal points. This is a functional idea to make use of our assets (not to close down post offices in rural areas), use of integrated communication facility and data collection (internet hubs), sustainable economic growth through improving smarter local farming and yields (smart agriculture), waste management and environmental policy making (focal points).
