Don’t take the above title literally but some of the guys who set up lovefilm have set up a new venture Graze the idea being they make it easier for people to eat healthily at work/home and combine this with value – they deliver a full letterbox sized box of healthy food (nuts, berries, dried fruit etc) straight to your door.

Interesting concept not sure how it will scale and not without a little competition but the guys behind it should be able to make it work:-

This is a little disturbing but in the KunMing Province of China students have been issued with new orange uniforms covered in advertisements the big issue is the fact they have a tobacco sponsor on them!

Apparently parents were shocked but there is nothing they can do about it :(

Ernie – The Fastest Organic Milkman In The West Returns…

Not quite Benny Hill but Ernie The Fastest Organic Milkman In The West makes a return  as all that’s old seems to be the new-new!

Delivering organic milk to customers’ doors in glass milk bottles, is coming back as the Manhattan Milk Company is reviving old-fashioned dairy delivery.

For a $5 delivery charge, Manhattanites can get a weekly delivery of fresh milk. The company’s driver loads up his truck on Wednesdays at 4 am and delivers to all of Manhattan, picking up empty bottles when he drops off the full ones. The milk is sourced from 51 Amish farms in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, about 160 miles southwest of New York City.

Maybe we will see this regeneration grow combining dairy delivery with locally supported agriculture ventures that deliver organic fruit and veg from farms to households across the world – with eco delivery systems?

Think about it convenience, charm, organic and local all combined with green credentials!!

Everything Locally2u!!
