Something very special happened today…our very first draft arrived! As you’d expect from TGM all printing inks used are made from vegetable based oils with 95% of cleaning solvents recycled for further use. The electricity was all generated from renewable sources and on average 87% of any waste associated with the production will be recycled. Pulps used for paper production are elemental chlorine free, manufactured at a mill with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System so not too shabby we think ha!

We love to get fan mail or should we say fan photos. All you need is a little bit of sunshine, sand, sea, a pile of rocks and you have hours of fun! TGM ROCKS!!!

Be a TGM trendsetter and not a fashion victim. Print out our clothing contract and stick it to your wardrobe door.

We think it’s impossible to make an ethical choice if you don’t know where your stuff comes from and how it is made. Very few people do these days, even high-street stores themselves. Fashion is like no other medium, in that you literally dress yourself in what you believe in. We want to use the power of fashion to make eco cool, and design traceable, transparent products that let you shop quickly with a conscience.

Our elite team of ECO spy’s are always on the look out for interesting and fun ways to help save the planet. This time around they’ve discovered how to make a scarecrow using old plastic bottles, a piece of string and a handful of bottle tops! Go on give it a go! http://www.youtube.com/user/thegreenmarinetv

If we did wrapping paper it’d probably look something like this. If it is your birthday today then we’d like to wish you a very special TGM style birthday, and remember “growing older is inevitable…but growing up is optional whoohaaa” x

It’s been another great day for ducks, umbrella sellers, gardens, tv execs, cinemas, and film units needing rain…we couldn’t resist from showing this cute photo. Do you have a best caption?

I’m sure you’ll agree that the vast majority of complaints at home usually boil down to household chores or a lack of them. It’s only fair that here at TGMHQ we do ‘our bit’ to help keep the peace – time for team work people! We’ve designed this handy weekly rota to help you manage those chores more fairly and let’s not forget put a smile on mum or dad’s face. Write your name in the relevant space and sign and date below. Remember to post it up where it can be seen, we all need to get a little praise from time to time.

From all the gang here at TGM HQ we’d like you wish you a very HAPPY EARTH DAY 2012!!! The first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other ground breaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 22,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world! You can find out more http://www.earthday.org/
