I see these icons and labels and generally accept them, but had never really thought about how a product proved it’s ecological merit. In this case, a “London web address” probably ends in DOT CO DOT UK. Assuming that you NETSURF, you’ve probably come upon this and many other country codes, but they often escape my notice. (The twin at 52A is SO LONG, the origins of which I’ve never really thought of much but turns out to have a fascinating array of possible cousins in the world.) If you weren’t sick of me after my April Fool’s offering, then perhaps you’ll be sick of me now … my seeds for this were indeed the ridiculous-looking MICRO-USB and the even-more-ridiculous-looking DOT CO DOT UK.
