Webtogs are a new company which specialises in selling outdoor clothing and equipment. I wanted to bring this company to our readers’ attention – firstly on the range of clothing and equipment they stock. Secondly, because they have started a ‘carbon neutral delivery’ initiative. When place your order you have the option of paying an additional 25p (which Webtogs will match) and at the end of the month the money is sent to Carbon Footprint who use it to offset CO2 produced by the delivery vans!
