low-impact network

We are creating a network of companies, organisations and individuals committed to providing high-quality, excellent value, environmentally-friendly products and services.

We are tired of large corporations jumping on the green bandwagon - for example, bringing out a range of 'eco' cleaning products because they 'really care about the environment', although the majority of their products are still highly toxic; or getting into renewable energy when they really don't have the expertise.

The corporate world wants to take over the green world - from the genuine companies that have done all the groundwork. We want to stop them, by networking to provide the public with good advice, products and services and to ensure that money is channelled to the people who believe in what they're doing and know what they're talking about.
