Their larger size helps prevent skin contact with the loo seat and the greater thickness helps provide more protection against germs that may be lurking on the rest room seat.

Tolettas come in small stylish packs, each containing five seat covers and will easily fit in your hand bag or pocket. They come in two colours, pink and blue, each colour supporting a different charity as part of their profits goes to worthwhile causes.

Security and Energy Monitoring Systems

AlertMe have released a range of easy self install, home security alarm and energy monitoring systems.

AlertMe components fulfil the usual window, door, motion and smoke monitoring functions using self install, wireless sensors linked to a central hub. Installation does not require any drilling as the sensors are simply placed around the home. The hub is connected to the householder’s broadband connection. In the event of an emergency the system immediately sends data via the Internet connection to AlertMe who in turn alert the home owner via mobile phone. If the Internet connection is down then a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) takes over sending information to 2G cellular phones.

AlertMe have now added energy monitoring to their range of components. The new technology, Smart Plugs, plugs into any electrical socket and uses the same hub as their security system. The Smart Plugs can then monitor and control any device connected through it. Users can see both live and historical energy use by the devices.

Smart Plugs are definitely smart. Then can automatically turn on and off lights and other devices, can alert users when an appliance fails, can turn of equipment when the owner leaves the house and turn on such things as kettles when they come back in.

AlertMe security kits start from 49 pounds sterling

Fire Hose To High Fashion

This is a great value added idea, which helps the environment and benefits charities. Elvis & Kresse based in Poole, Dorset in the south of England collects scrap fire hose from across the UK and, cleverly, turns it into very fashionable handbags, purses, belts and other fashion accessories. What also sets Elvise & Kresse apart is that they give 50% of their profit to the UK Fire Fighters Charity.

The company has been recycling materials besides condemned fire-hose, including

• Waste coffee sacks
• Scrap sail cloth
• Used Air Traffic Control flight strips
• Repurposed sunglasses and optician’s boxes
• Reclaimed pewter for our belt buckles
• Parachute silk
• Decommissioned office furniture textiles.

From these they create belts, guitar straps, wallets (billfolds), iPhone cases, card holders, cufflinks, key rings, candle stick holders, table sets, bowling bags, clutch bags, messenger bags and kit bags.

In addition to supporting the Fire Fighters Charity Elvis & Kresse,because of their use of coffee sacks, provide support to two separate coffee grower initiatives in Nicaragua and Guatemala. Their high fashion products are available both online and from select retailers (see their site) in the UK, France, Switzerland, Hong Kong and Australia.
