What if I told you that luxury, refinement, power, performance, and presence could be combined into a  sustainable product? A product that goes “Above and Beyond” and challenges stereotypes. We as humans make choices every single day, 24/7, 365 days of the year, but how many of them are “Sustainable”?

The Bigger Picture

If I told you that I made a conscious effort to promote sustainable lifestyles and this affected the thinking patterns of 1000 people who saved 1 liter of water a day? This leads to a saving of 365,000 liters of water a year. Imagine, a million people doing this. I will allow you to do the math. This is the bigger picture I am trying to create awareness around and focus people’s attention on.

The Choice Is Yours

This article focuses on one of the occasional, but key decisions we make which can get us one step closer to saving the world from air pollution and depleting reserves of Oil through sustainable lifestyle choices. If my hints about this automaker were successful, you would have correctly guessed the legendary British automaker that's making great strides in the path of sustainability.

Challenging Stereotypes

Land Rover is redefining the SUV market by introducing high-performance automobiles which will have the smallest footprint on planet earth. Stemming from the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vision of shifting to an “All-Electric” line up of automobiles, this initiative is already taking shape and comes in several legendary silhouettes close to our hearts.

However, this article will focus on these hybrid high-performance SUVs and what kind of benefits they bring to the table. I got in touch with JRL Sri Lanka to obtain some first-hand insights into the model variants, to give you the most updated and relevant details that may interest you!

Powerful, Efficient & Cost-Effective

The new Range Rover Evoque P300e PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid)  and Land Rover Discovery Sport P300e PHEV  are high-performance luxury SUVs which pack power and efficiency in a package that is not only good for the environment but also your wallet!

Due to the fact that both these SUVs now come with a 1.5-litre engine, the taxes applicable are lesser than its more powerful engine variants found in the non-PHEV variants. Not only does this make the SUVs more affordable, but it also paves the way for more sustainable lifestyle choices.

Electrified & Practical

The very low carbon emissions of the Evoque PHEV and Discovery Sport PHEV mean that your carbon footprint is much lower and the 66km electric range allows you to get your daily chores done without having to worry about spending on fuel!

A looming energy crisis or one step closer to sustainability?

By
The impact would be devastating if we don’t prepare for what I am going to tell you about. This is just a thought that came to my mind while I was peering out of my window one hot sunny morning during lockdown (29 th of April 2020 to be precise). I was procrastinating every time my mind told me that I should put my phone and laptop to charge and it so happened that we lost the electricity supply for a short time. My mind was full of regrets now. Thankfully though, the electricity came back within minutes. Putting this into perspective The household energy and water consumption levels are probably at extremely high levels with all family members forced to stay home due to Covid-19. You cannot deny the fact that the majority of us rely on our electronic devices such as our “can’t do without mobile phones”, laptops, TVs, fans, air conditioning (If we are lucky), Wi-Fi routers, etc. etc. I am not going to ask you whether you can afford to do without any one of the

Fashion Designer Minnelli Abayaratna on The Importance of Supporting Local Brands

By
As a fashion designer, I strongly believe we have to be aware of the story behind products and the people who are involved in the process of its production . Having been involved in the fashion industry for a number of years, I’ve gathered experience in a start-up and a few of the more recognised labels in Sri Lanka . Since we are now facing a pandemic on a scale that we haven’t seen the likes of for more than a century I thought it was important for me to talk about the importance of supporting local brands. I want to share the story behind my favourite type of fabric to work with. It is that of the handloom textile. The history behind traditional handloom weaving in Sri Lanka dates back to the times of the Indian Prince Vijaya and quite possibly before that. It is said that upon his arrival on the island in 543 BC, he witnessed a woman called Kuveni from the indigenous race “Yaksha Gothra” spinning yarn - she would go on to be his wife. The local handloom industry acquir

Whether you drive a Maruti or the most expensive car in the World, there's a way you can create a character of its own to reflect your tastes, preferences and attitude. When this is done, there's no longer a "Maruti" or a "most expensive car in the World", but rather a "one-of-a-kind ride" which is truly yours and can be differentiated from the rest! In this article I will give you some tips on how you can enhance the apperance of your vehicle while being on a budget! Expressing Yourself We all crave to be different, to express ourselves, to be unique etc. Some do this by way of fashion, singing, gymming, sports and many other ways, but some do it using their cars. I really find it fascinating as to how creative people can get and how they could transform the look of an average car into something so special and unique. Once Upon A Time Since 2003 (when the 9 year old me started to realize that car modifications aren't limited to PC games such a
