  1. Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops - 09 Nov 2005

    I bought two big jute fairtrade shopping bags and now take them with me whenever I shop. Only problem I’ve had is now I have no carrier bags to recycle as bin liners!

  2. Put A Save-A-Flush Device In Your Cistern - 09 Nov 2005

    I picked up ten hogs at greenbelt and visited the houses of family and friends to put them in their loos, as well as my own! Got some funny looks from relatives, though my friends are used to me!

  3. Buy Presents That Make A Difference - 09 Nov 2005

    This year I’m trying to buy all my Christmas gifts from Oxfam, Traidcraft etc, and getting adult friends and relatives donation gifts eg. goats, school equipment, latrines plus a small gift eg, fairtrade choccies/wine. Lots of my family and friends are going to do it too, as we’ve all agreed that Christmas present shopping has got out of hand in the last few years and we really don’t need any more stuff!

    We’ve also agreed as a school staff that instead of sending each other Chistmas cards and doing ‘Secret Santa’, we’re all going to put the cash equivalent into a pot and buy 2000 school dinners for Africa from the Oxfam catalogue.

  4. Slow Down, Calm Down (Stick to the speed limit) - 09 Nov 2005

    As well as all the safety aspects, I’m the driver amongst my close friends and family who hasn’t had a speeding fine and I enjoy the moral highground!! Lol :o)

  5. See An Inconvenient Truth. - 01 Jan 2007

    Amazing film! We’ve just used Christmas gift vouchers to buy two copies on DVD. One is for us to watch when we need inspiring; the other is to pass on. We’ve stuck a label on it saying ‘Please watch me and then give me to someone else!’, and we’re going to pass it on and hope that is can circulate from household to household until it’s worn out! I’m sure it won’t be good for film company’s profits but EVERYONE should see this film!

    Also love the recycled cardboard DVD case!
