All British, all our products are made in the lovely Cotswolds.
Our aim is to offer truly sustainable products with the lowest carbon footprint we can manage but they must all be beautiful, practical and really affordable as well. It is a big ask, but we think we have met that challenge. There is no need to live with anything other than beautiful things around us even going into a low energy world and these improve our feeling of wellbeing and encourage us not to replace things. We intend all our products to last ’a lifetime’.
Our Brand Ethos document explains what we do and why we do it.
Westonbirt Arboretum
We are delighted and privileged to be associated with and be supporting the National Arboretum at Westonbirt and now donate a %age of sales to The Friends of Westonbirt.
This is to support the work of the arboretum and particularly to help them to invest heavily in a new project see `Tranquility and The Friends of Westonbirt‘ for the details.
It has long concerned us that the closer we get to the retail industry – the bigger the profit made. In contrast those who work the land to produce the raw materials receive very little reward which is particularly true for forestry. Given we receive many logs from the arboretum to turn into products; it is really good to be able to redress what we think that imbalance by what we think a substantial figure of up to 5%.
We would be grateful if Friends would mail us using this email:
Tranquility Information
Many documents explain the various products, why they are what they are and in the case of the flooring – how to lay them, what to lay them on etc. etc. The product Home pages introduce the products and give links to the documents relevant to the product.
The majority of the information covers various subjects which are all to do with the environment in one way or another, written by Mike and published through this web site. All are intended to be relatively easy reads and the newest is the Climate Book Series, designed to work through some of the significant parts of the book which will be published when the series has covered sufficient elements. There are also Papers going through many low Energy housing solutions where you will also find Papers covering national issues on energy production. There are further Papers on Climate, Population, Economics, Politics and other environmental topics. (Note: if economics seems unrelated to the environment – fast economic growth consumes the dwindling global resources ever faster, and the Political system has shown itself to be quite unable to grasp anything environmental at all).
Mike has no vested interest in almost anything he writes about, and being interested only in the truth nothing is slanted to prove a point or drive readers to a certain viewpoint. Integrity is king, and if anything can be shown to be incorrect we will publish the correction.
Above all else, if you read something anywhere – first ask yourself if the writer had an interest in the subject. Don’t believe anybody selling anything unless shown to be true and please note marketers pick only the bits that sell their products.
