Our decisions to buy or not to buy give us enormous potential power. It is not simply a question of cutting the environmental impact of the products we purchase, but also of creating, though the choices we make, a commercial climate in which manufacturers and retailers see new market opportunities in ‘green’ goods and are encouraged to invest in new products and services.

The Coffee House - An Environment Forum
There is an increasing amount of news out there, fed to us 24 hours a day. Unfortunately, less and less is 'investigative' journalism looking into the deeper reasons behind why things are happening. At The Coffee House we pick out some of the more controversial news stories for debate. Politics, economics, development and environment are our main focus. Grab a coffee (or tea!) and join us. Just don't be shy!

Keep speaking out and maybe you can make the difference!
