Apologies for recent absence.. too sickly and too busy to add anything to blog. That is why still in office at 7.45. Have just completed an internet order for groceries to be delivered tomorrow.. experimenting with a range of fair trade coffees (to see which I like, as I drink it) and tea (which I hate so principles easily win); some ecover cleaning products (though balked at the price of the washing powder compared to my standard...), bananas, recycled paper towels -- and realise I have forgotten the organic porridge. Can't bear to log back on. And since I discovered the wonders of soap which you use rather than shower gel I not only waste less packaging, I never seem to use it up. 45p and it lasts a lifetime (or at least a good few months.. )Internet delivery is one of the key enablers of a carfree life in a city -- and a very good thing (even though inertia means that I am still with Tesco)> Roll on Environment Direct! Means I can top up shop at the farmers market and my BP website measured carbon footprint (nifty, try it) looks very dainty (apart from the US trip - ironically to the POW's business and environment programme)
