I am looking to buy one of these new eco-friendly gadgets (they make logs/bricks that you can burn on your fireplace - from your old newspapers and junkmail!) You just put in old papers, and press down on the handles (or a button, depending on the type!) and a brick pops out. Apparently they burn for up to 2 hours. COOL!
I have seen lots on websites, but I'd like to buy one in a store in PERSON in London, UK, as a gift tomorrow, if I can. Does anyone know if any of the green stores or eco-charities have started stocking them yet? I am quite deperate for one tomorrow, if I can - they are a brilliant innovation!
Many, many thanks to all out there!

The log things are called briquettes. You should be able to buy one of these clever gadgets from most hardware stores. I know here in Southampton we have Robert Dyas shops which stock them.

Excuse me for being pedantic but,doesn't the sub-heading of Environment & Ecology preclude any thought of burning & therefore contributing to the co2 emissions.Surely you should be recycling paper so that less trees are cut down to make it.How can encouraging people to burn anything be eco-friendly?Just a thought!

Why would you BOTHER, to go, in PERSON? Just order one, from one of the numerous ads, in the papers! I realise, that, you will have to WAIT, to receive it, but, - if you are a serious ecologist, - you have to realise, that, going to a shop, for one of these marvellous innovations, will, - probably, - mean a journey, by CAR, - which will, actually, ADD to global warming! Whichever way, you LOOK at it, my friend, - to GET one, means that, - FIRST, - you have to ADD to the PROBLEM, that you're TRYING to PREVENT! But, I have to say, that I ADMIRE your efforts, to recycle!
