Eco Chic Closedown.

Eco Chic and AJ will no longer be updating this site. I am so sorry.

It’s been a very long journey and I thank all those who have supported me with my work, events and networking over the last 5 years.

There have been many opportunities that I worked very hard to achieve an end eco goal, albeit there were many parts or in a business sense, business facets of the eco business model that I single handily created, nevertheless, there was only great inspiration from Dame Anita, Dale Vince, and a handful of other great pioneers cross sector, that really made me want to strive to be an Ambassador for creating a peaceful, yet business, a sensible revenue business to help the other people and businesses. I wanted only to be a small part of a huge eco cog, that was ethical, and in the main a fair trade business including music, merchandise, online portal etc of bringing better products to market. For the old reference tools you can goto my original site where the first eco magazine for UK eco was published in 2004. http:www.o2m.co.uk (oxygen and music).

I am very sorry, yet I have to admit I failed miserably! It wasn’t though without having a great memorable journey that will stay within my heart forever. My soul will carry the words of kindness and wisdom that so many people I met along my alone journey, that had ideals akin to my own.

I am certain that my eco work will no longer continue, but my spiritual holistic knowledge has lead me to a greater awareness of our beautiful world. I will continue to search for the enlightenment that has been sparked within me, and to be able to have a life that is a different path now, yet a more in-depth journey for me and my child. I hope you all find as many great eco companies to support. I am sure in my small way I helped start a memory in others hearts and minds, from large corporations to small tiny businesses. I do so very much wish you the very best on all your eco work, long may it survive. I am certain there are many more great things in store for us all.

I am going to a new journey, to search deeper understanding of the greater enlightenment that I am proud and honoured to know that exists within the real world. I hope you all stay eco and chic!
I leave you with this on an eco tip:

Eco Finance Article publication September 2009

It is a long article that I am writing at the moment, that I want you to know about. I am still working hard at the eco chic party planning for late 2009 events that I hope will be held in London.

Yet, at the moment my attention is firmly on the Eco Finance article that I promised at my Lainston House event in May that it would be published in September. At the heart of the piece I will take you to a futuristic journey where global finance and eco corporate policy mix (CSR). Or, in the famous words of the late Dame Anita Roddick, it is something called “Ethical Auditing” – which in the article, I will quote her, and the work at The Body Shop. Anita’s own ethical auditing has come along way since her invention, so much so, that is now being undertaken by many companies across the globe. I will look at the strides made by corporate bodies at the moment, and a look the future of our climate, which scares me to bits if I am honest.

It is hard though as I write, in the middle of the summer holidays to get all the R&D needed to complete the article, but having made the promise to unearth the true scope of international policy, and with Copenhagen's conference in the very near future, I am absolutely determined to offer solutions where finance and eco policy can mix. It is no ordinary article that I write, as I am an optimist. Also I believe the solutions are within our grasp to make huge strides in the Kyoto 2 framework (2012), with the policies and leaders with the solutions digging away looking at all sorts of possibilities that may be easier to help us and our planet survive.

I will keep you posted as to my progress, and I seriously hope that I offer companies that are offering forward thinking implementation of strategy within their own groups, and also simple ways that we all can grasp the "how" we can all lead a more ethical and sustainable lives for us and our future generations.
