Martec Environmental Consultants Ltd

Info:  UK noise and vibration consultants specialising in sound insulation tests, control of noise and vibration in the workplace. We provide expert witness services for noise, vibration, acoustics and noise abatement notices. We also provide support for Building Regulations Compliance for Part E, including BB93 "Acoustic Design of Schools", as well as sound tests under the Ecohomes and Code for Sustainable Development Schemes.

Morsbags

Info:  Over 1 million plastic bags are consumed per minute globally. Marine wildlife mistakes plastic bags for food and dies. Supermarkets and politicians will take years to sort it out. Making morsbags will help, with immediate effect.

Make your own cotton morsbags and distribute -- each one has the potential to eliminate hundreds of plastic bags over its lifetime.

Noise

Info:  Is a nationwide noise and vibration consultancy practice. We specialise in building acoustics. We offer a complete acoustics service, which means that we can assist clients by providing a full construction package beginning at the planning stage, all the way through to final pre-completion testing. We have an experienced team of consultants covering the whole of the UK.

Clients should be aware of services offered by other companies which offer sound insulation tests, but do not carry third party accreditation for their work. Would you employ a 'cowboy builder'? Be sure that you do not employ a 'cowboy tester', whose report may not be acceptable to building control.

Parry People Movers

Info:  Supplies lightweight tramway systems for smaller towns, and lightweight rail vehicles for use on regional railways. PPM vehicles incorporate flywheel energy storage, allowing electric tramway systems without overhead wires and railcars powered by small prime movers running on gas, diesel or hydrogen -- all with very high energy efficiency and very low emissions of pollutants and noise.

PPM technology responds to the need for high quality, environmentally sound, affordable local public transport for both urban and rural communities.

SEPA

Info:  The Scottish Environment Protection Agency is Scotland's environmental regulator. Our main role is to protect and improve the environment. We do this by regulating activities that can cause pollution and by monitoring the quality of Scotland's air, land and water. We are also responsible for delivering Scotland's flood warning system.

surfers against sewage

Info:  Is a UK-based non profit-making organisation campaigning for clean, safe recreational waters, free from sewage effluents, toxic chemicals, marine litter and nuclear waste.

We were founded in 1990 by a group of surfers, who were literally 'sick of getting sick' through repeated ear, nose, throat and gastric infections after going in the sea. Forming a local group, we set about taking grassroots action to stop the sewage pollution at our local surf breaks in Cornwall.

Target Neutral

Info:  Is a positive, practical and straightforward step that BP is taking to help drivers help the environment. We are taking the lead because our extensive research shows there is a huge demand for such a scheme and a general feeling from customers that they don't know where to start.

The Carbon Neutral Company

Info:  Is one of the world's leading carbon offset and climate consulting businesses, set up with that single focus in the early 1990s. Our experience and commitment has translated into working with 200 emission reduction projects across 6 continents, and 1000s of clients from multinationals to SMEs. All have in common the intent to measure and cut their carbon emissions as rapidly and as professionally as possible.

The Green Organisation

Info:  Is an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world. While we support the work of other environmental groups that play the role of environmental watchdog, there is also a need for an organisation like ours that concentrates more on the positive aspects of environmental endeavour -- the carrot as well as the stick. We are best known for organising The International Green Apple Environment Award campaigns -- one for environmental best practice, and one for enhancing our built environment and architectural heritage.

Tunnel Sensors

Info:  Was formed specifically to supply, install and maintain tunnel atmosphere monitor systems worldwide. We believe we are the only company in the marketplace to design and manufacture their own analysers specifically for pollution monitoring in the road tunnel environment.

Our mission is to provide systems that enable operators to run their tunnels at financially efficient levels, whilst protecting tunnel users from the irritating effects of vehicle pollution. We offer a full range of sensors for visibility, carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and air velocity / direction monitoring -- with a variety of interface and configuration options.

Turtle Bags

Info:  Many of our plastic bags travel along rivers and streams and end up out at sea. Leatherback Turtles coming to UK waters for jelly fish are increasingly mistaking our plastic bags for jellyfish. Plastic bags are becoming a major marine problem for the same reason that they have been a commercial success -- they don’t break down. Every year, an estimated 17½ billion plastic bags are given away by supermarkets. This is equivalent to over 290 bags for every person in the UK. We produce and use 20 times more plastic today than we did 50 years ago.

Plastic Bags are a hazard. Turtle Bags are a gentler alternative.

UnwantedMail

Info:  Many people don’t have a problem with direct mail. However, some direct mail is poorly targeted and irrelevant and is thrown straight in the bin. Our goal is to reduce the amount of unwanted mail delivered to Scottish householders by 10 per cent by 2010. If you would like to reduce the amount of unwanted mail you receive and benefit the environment, follow the five easy ways to do it.
