A LEDBURY couple have launched a website to provide a one-stop shop for people who want advice and products to help them go green the easy way.

The site - www.greenandeasy.co.uk - the brainchild of Jackie and David Smethurst of Rushall - aims to cut through the maze of confusing information online. It offers a very simple way of finding green products and services in a sensible and realistic way without making demands on people to change their whole way of life.

The website has been designed for people of all ages who have a busy lifestyle and don't have time to spend searching for green alternatives every minute of the day. It has sections dedicated to everything from green weddings and funerals, to greener gardening, environmentally friendly kitchen appliances, sustainable wood products, greener electricity, and even investments, mortgages and loans.

Mr Smethurst said: "I've always been keen to do my bit for the environment. More and more of us do want to do our bit to protect the environment we live in, but at the same time we appreciate that going green to the extreme is neither desirable nor practical.

"Many of us are keen to make small but significant changes to our everyday lives and to do so without feeling pressurised into it through guilt or obligation. And with such a deluge of information out there, it is often difficult to know where to start. That's why we've set up www.greenandeasy.co.uk."

Mrs Smethurst adds: "We subscribe to the view that if everybody does a little, it's better than a few doing everything."
