Happy New Year!
Help The Woodland Trust
With post-Christmas clean-ups underway, Marks & Spencer is calling on its customers to come into store this January and help the Woodland Trust turn festive waste into woodland by recycling old cards at stores UK-wide*.
From 2-31 January 2012, specially-marked Christmas card recycling bins will be placed in over 300 participating M&S stores. M&S is committed to planting one tree with the Woodland Trust for every 1,000 Christmas cards brought into store – with the aim of saving over 10 million cards from the rubbish bin this year, equating to 10,000 new native trees.
Puzzle of the week
The island of Elbonia have a rather eccentric postal system. Postage for an item can be anything from 1 dinar to 15 dinari, and you must use exact postage. Frustratingly, there is only space on the envelopes in Elbonia to attach a maximum of three stamps. What is more, they only have three different denominations of stamps, can you work out what they are?
