1. Give Thanks Before A Meal - 27 Feb 2006

   We use mealtimes as an opportunity to thank God for one another (as well as the food). Easily done as each person says thank you for the person on their right and then the last person says ‘and thank you for our food’. I guess this only works with more than two people!

2. Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops - 07 Mar 2006

   Have been trying to do this for a while for food shopping but even with re-usable bags in prime tripping position in the hall we don’t always remember, and mentally I haven’t really registered that I could/should be taking them when I go clothes, house, DIY etc shopping too. When I do remember them I always feel a bit foolish stood at the supermarket check out with a big straw bag. It would look more appropriate if I was breezing round a French farmers market and filling it with bageuttes, brie and vin rouge, rather than harrassed by a toddler and making a poor effort at organic, local and green…. so I guess that reminds me to try another action and change the way I shop!

3. Use 'real' nappies - 15 Jul 2006

   We used the ‘mother-ease’ one size fits all with poppers etc which were great until we were having to change little one every hour or so because he was soaking wet through to his clothes – he was around 18 months old. Now using Nature Baby.
