A rogue tanker dumping oil at sea could be responsible for the death of hundreds of seabirds on the South Coast.

Almost 200 birds have been washed ashore and found covered in a sticky waxy substance. It is feared thousands more could be floating in the sea, unable to feed because their feathers and wings have become stuck together.

The waxy substance has been identified as a refined mineral oil. Most of the birds rescues have been cleaned off using vegetable oil, margarine and followed by washing detergent.

This new initiative that aims to take the consumed palm oil sustainably sourced in 2009 in the UK from 24% to 100% is a big challenge. http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/natural/deforestation/

Well it seems we have the answer now, if only for the short term it's - 'not to cull' - until the the summer 2013 at least, the badgers are safe.

Boots has been rapped by the advertising watchdog for making misleading claims about a range of organic baby products on its website. The online ad for ‘Little Me Organics Oh So Gentle Hair and Body Wash’ claimed the product was organic, despite only containing 5 per cent organic ingredients. A complainant challenged whether the claim was misleading because it implied the product met an industry standard for organic products, which it does not.Boots said that Little Me Organics…’ is the brand name, adding that there is no legal definition of what organic means with reference to cosmetic products.
