14th January 2024 Bulletin

Happy new year from Eco-Corner. At this time of year it is a sore temptation to turn up the thermostat and run the heating at all hours, but step away from the dial, for an amusing article in the Guardian caught our eye, addressing the important eco-dictum, heat the person not the house. Grauniad scribe Emma Beddington reviews some personal heating fabric options, from electric ponchos to heated footwarmers, and gives two thumbs up to several of them. If, like your unfortunate Eco-Cornerer, you are accustomed to shivering at your desk all day because you refuse to turn on the central heating in daylight hours, then personal heating is the money-saving, sustainable and cosy way to go. Although obviously Eco-Corner does not endorse any particular products, check out the article here.
