Description:
Honda is showcasing its evolving approach to more sustainable product design with the European premiere of its latest electrified urban vehicle concepts – the SUSTAINA-C Concept car and Pocket Concept motorcycle – at Milan Design Week from 16-21 April.<br/><br/>Both will star alongside the SH125i ‘Vetro’ scooter to demonstrate the innovative material use and unique design aesthetics that can be created while reducing the CO2 emissions arising from the manufacturing process at Honda Italia Industriale’s factory in Atessa, Italy. This is one way in which Honda is pursuing its target of achieving carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050.<br/><br/>As first shown at the 2024 Japan Mobility Show, the SUSTAINA-C Concept explores how society could be freed from the constraints of finite resources. It comes paired with the Pocket Concept, a compact motorcycle that can be stored in the luggage compartment and provide last mile mobility.<br/><br/>The panels are manufactured using recycled acrylic resin sourced from second-hand taillights to create exterior panels that do not require painting, allowing Honda to create a unique, unpainted finish that would not be possible with traditional materials. This material approach could reduce emissions during production by up to 45 per cent – partly via the recycled materials in use, but also in leaving the panels unpainted, which can account for as much as 80 per cent of the CO2 emissions from an automobile factory.<br/><br/>The model on show in Milan features a black and white marble effect, achieved by mixing colours with different melting points into the panels as they are moulded – leaving a marbling behind as the material settles into the mould.

_one-in-five-women-believe-investing-is-for-men-research-reveals.webp "One in five women believe investing is only for men, research has revealed. <br/><br/>A poll, of 2,000 adults, found 74 per cent of females are more inclined to save their money, than attempt an investment (12 per cent). <br/><br/>Whereas only 63 per cent of men would put spare money into a savings account - with 21 per cent putting it in the stock market instead. <br/><br/>The gender pay gap (27 per cent) and access to financial education (15 per cent) were among reasons it's seen as a preserve for men. <br/><br/>However, 77 per cent of women would be interested in learning more about how to get started in investing.<br/><br/>And 47 per cent of men and women polled admitted they have no idea exactly how much money is in their pension pot. <br/><br/>The research comes as Bake Off star Candice Brown revealed her tops tips to make her money go further, including extreme meal prepping and bulk buying key items.<br/><br/>Other advice included evaluating when you last used your subscription platforms, religiously using cashback sites and freezing leftovers. <br/><br/>Candice Brown, who is working with pension provider Nest, which commissioned the research, said: “So many people don’t seem to know where their money goes. <br/><br/>“It took me a long time to really get to grips with what I was doing with my money, I didn’t think it would be easy to invest. <br/><br/>“It’s something I wish I’d done much sooner, before Bake Off changed my life. <br/><br/>“My employees all have Nest pensions so it was great to teach more members that they are actually investors themselves.” <br/><br/>The study found women are slightly more afraid of losing money in a bad investment than men (57 per cent vs 45 per cent). <br/><br/>But 35 per cent of females think improved financial education in schools would help boost the nation’s knowledge. <br/><br/>While 23 per cent would like to see a government initiative brought in to help people learn more about the process. <br/><br/>In terms of the ethics of investing, men and women are equal in considering it very important their investments are made in a positive way for the world (19 per cent). <br/><br/>Across all adults, only 12 per cent would describe themselves as very confident in starting to invest in something new to them. <br/><br/>Elizabeth Fernando, of Nest, which invests member’s monthly contributions into everyday brands, said: “Investing is for everyone. <br/><br/>“The cliché of the 1980s City broker in a pin stripe suit and red braces is almost always a male figure - but that stereotype is old and changing all the time. <br/><br/>“A pension can be an efficient way to save and invest money for the long term. If you have a pension, you’re already an investor. <br/><br/>“Investing knows no gender - it's about making informed choices and decisions to reach your financial goals. <br/><br/>“By breaking down stereotypes and promoting financial literacy, we can ensure that everyone has the chance to benefit from the opportunities that investing offers.\")

Part of the London Overground – the former East London line - also operates night services.")
_antiques-roadshow-expert-restores-former-chapel-he-bought-for-60k.webp "An Antiques Roadshow expert has bought a former chapel for 60K to convert into a home and workshop - and is calling on others to ‘save these historic structures’.<br/><br/>Wayne Colquhoun, 60, bought Capel Salem in Corris in Wales - which still had a pulpit with a Bible in.<br/><br/>He says he fell in love with the 1868 romantic slate structure which had fallen into disrepair.<br/><br/>The Grade II listed chapel upkeep became too expensive for the diminishing congregation and was on the market in 2017. <br/><br/>Across Wales, chapels fall into the landscape through disrepair, demolition or ‘insensitive conversion’.<br/><br/>He bought the chapel for £60k, transforming the upper gallery into a three-bed apartment, adding floorboards covering half the gallery.<br/><br/>Wayne said: “When I bought it the bible was still on the pulpit, as though the congregation had walked out and closed the door.<br/><br/>“When people close the doors on old buildings- that’s the danger point. It gets damp and dry rot sets in.<br/><br/>“These historic structures are evocative of Welsh history and have to be saved - we need people who will put their heart and soul into them because it’s easy to butcher conversions.”<br/><br/>He aims to maintain the lower space and Canadian pitch pine panelling for use as his Antiques and Fine Art shop, moved from Liverpool, plus a pottery and sculpture workshop.<br/><br/>He aims to keep as many original features of the property as possible, from its single-glazed arched windows to reusing the pews as kitchen work surfaces.<br/><br/>Nearby, three chapels closest to Capel Salem have closed permanently to worship.<br/><br/>Wayne is in the process of transforming the lower level into his antiques and fine art shop. <br/><br/>He hopes to hold talks and workshops in the space, aiming to build up to employing locals and 'giving back' to the community.<br/><br/>Just 500 feet away sits Holy Trinity Church which closed its doors in 2020 not through lack of attendance, but through disrepair.<br/><br/>Neil Sumner chair of Welsh Religious Buildings Trust wrote that the redundancy of chapels in Wales is due to a 19th century ‘expansionist fervour’ of Nonconformist Chapels (i.e. Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists).<br/><br/>In 1800 Caernarfonshire there were 30 chapels, rising to 221 in 1851, representing a 700 per cent increase.<br/><br/>Combining this flurry of builds with the 20th-century fall in attendance, Sumner wrote “the result is there are now too many buildings for current needs”.<br/><br/>In an attempt to preserve the character of the increasing chapel conversions, historic environment service Cadw has issued guidelines including keeping the front of the chapels untouched, retaining rooms with self-supporting partitions and allowing ‘characteristic features to show through the new walls and floors’.<br/><br/>Meanwhile the Buildings Trust attempt to conserve Welsh chapels through fundraising and management.<br/><br/>After leaving school Wayne went on to become a specialist in the restoration of historic and listed buildings. <br/><br/>Wayne has run an art gallery for over two decades and is an indepe")
