About
For years, I have recycled and sent e-mails to my representatives, but beyond that I thought there wasn’t much more I could do to really make a difference. Then I heard the statistic that said, “If everyone just changed one light bulb to a CFL, it would be the equivalent of taking a million cars off the road.” It reminded me that small steps, taken together, can have a big impact.
I wondered why everyone did not change their light bulbs, and I came to the conclusion that either they didn’t hear the message, or they did not have the time or know-how to act on the information. That is why I created Zola; to carry the message, and then provide you with easy, affordable solutions, so that together we can help create a healthier environment.
Lastly, as a mother, I feel compelled to do everything that I can to ensure a safe and healthy future for my children.

As the world heads towards peak oil, and the UKs ageing nuclear power stations come to the
end of their lives, important questions arise about where we will be getting energy from in the
near future. There is the threat of climate-wrecking sources of energy such as tar sands or
coal, sources such as biofuels that can take food out of people’s mouths or destroy entire
ecosystems, and other questionable options such as nuclear energy or hydrogen fuel. At the
same time there is the promise of fulfilling energy needs through energy efficiency, reduced
consumption of material goods and renewable energy sources such as wind, sun and tidal
power. Decisions about our energy future are made by people all the time, in choosing how
much energy to use, where to purchase energy from, and what kind of energy to support and
promote in debates. It is essential, then, that these decisions are made with the maximum
understanding of issues surrounding energy, and that the concept of energy is communicated
as accurately as possible.
Great Effort !!!! Keep It Up.....
