Green Thing Blog

(Going easy on the "hot sausage and mustard" of course).

Fancy a Quinoa Chickpea Marinara, with or without yoghurt? Or a super simple Mushroom Curry? How about some Fudgy Wudgy Blueberry Brownies or unbelievably tasty Fluffy White Cupcakes all washed down with Home-Brewed Beer?

Then check out some of the member suggestions under the Easy On The Meat cookbook.

Yummmmmmm.

If you’re passionate about inspiring the people around you to do the green thing we’d love your steer on a new service we want to develop.

We want your help developing a new way for people to inspire their friends and family and colleagues to lead a greener life. We're recruiting a small group of beta testers and we’d really like to get you involved.

What you can do
1. We're getting together in central London to discuss how Green Thing can be better for you. If you can walk, bike, hop, skip or skate to Wyoming Studios in Oxford Circus in October we'd love you to join us. We'll ask you about your ideas, see what you think about some of ours, and we can all eat sandwiches and drink beer.

If you can make it, please email me at andrew (dot) sleigh [at] gmail (dot) com to let me know. Further details will follow. If you’ve got a preferred date or time, that would be good to know too.

2. If you can't make it but would like to input by email or on the phone, please get in touch as well.

3. Maybe you don't want to talk at all, or eat sandwiches or drink beer, but there’s one thing you know in your heart of hearts we could do better? Then please feel extremely free to leave a comment below.

Thanks --Andrew

Mmmmmmm. Yummy. Squirrels.

From people being fined for killing them, to a company making the world's strongest beer in taxidermied one, Squirrels are a hot topic these days. Today, squirrels are in the news because of their meat.

Budgens, a North London supermarket is now selling squirrel meat. Apparently, it tastes like rabbit.

Andrew Thorton, owner of the Budgen's that's selling the meat claims that "squirrel meat is more sustainable than beef" and "Squirrels will be culled anyway. You have two choices. Either you dispose of them or you eat them."

It's really popular, despite animal welfare groups disapproval.

There you have it. Another reason to go easy on the meat.
