The beauty industry, including organic skin care and cosmetic companies, are joining the automotive and manufacturing industries in focusing on reducing environmental impact. No longer primarily focusing specifically on the end result, beauty companies are centering on business as a whole, including production, marketing, packaging, and researching ways to service customers while helping the environment. Companies producing green beauty and skin care products hope to make the earth as beautiful and healthy as they make the people who live here.

Carbon Offsetting involves paying an organisation to neutralise the climate impact of your own activities, thereby making those activities “carbon neutral” or “climate neutral”. Some offset schemes focus on reducing future emissions by, for example, giving out low-energy lightbulbs in the developing world or buying renewable electricity credits. Others focus on sucking CO2 directly out of the atmosphere - usually by planting trees.

From October 2008 landlords offering property for rent will be required by law to provide prospective tenants with an Energy Performance Certificate for their property.

The certificates (EPCs) will have to be provided free either when (or before) any written information about the property is provided to prospective tenants or a viewing is conducted. They will not have to be provided if the landlord believes the prospective tenant is unlikely to have sufficient funds to rent the property or is not genuinely interested in renting, or the landlord is unlikely to be prepared to rent the property to the prospective tenant.
