Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:40:00

A new desert retreat with Extreme Pilgrim Peter Owen Jones in the Sinai wilderness offers the chance to get a different perspective.

Peter Owen Jones, who spent three and a half weeks living in a Sinai desert cave for the filming of BBC TVs Extreme Pilgrim series, now offers a condensed eight-day taster of this remarkable, life-changing experience.

Jones will be running two eight-day retreats back to back in March, which are being facilitated by the Makhad Trust, a UK charity working to sustain the heritage and traditional way of life of the Sinai deserts Bedouin tribes. Sixty percent of all proceeds from the retreat journeys will contribute directly to the local Bedouin economy.

Composting system designed to be suitable for all food waste, requires no electricity and is carbon negative, has diverted 1,000 tonnes of food from landfill.

Sending food waste to landfill is unnecessary, unsustainable and costly. Discussing the problem in an Exmoor pub one night were Richard Gedge an ex-stockbroker who now runs an award-winning farm for its green credentials and Dan Welburn, a former formula one engineer. Together, after experimenting with prototypes, they created the Ridan composter.

Capable of composting up to 400 litres of food waste a week, they have helped divert over 1,000 tonnes from landfill in two years, according to the company. They are proving popular with hotels, National Trust sites, prisons and even climbing centres.
