People love candles for the ambiance they add to a room, for the aroma and the soft glimmer of firelight dancing in their living rooms, kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms.

The current cultural drift is also toward environmentally-friendly products. Global warming, the ozone layer depletion and other environmental concerns are illuminated daily in the media and in our social collective consciousness.

And quite rightly so; candles are one of the oldest consumer products in the history of commerce. From this single point of light a Post Petrol Paradigm will ignite.
