Almost completed my OU openings course in Environmental Science... a good grounding in the principles, and some stunning statistics. Sustainable living means that our eco footprint should be no more than 1.8 hectares per person, and that leaves no bio productive land for wilderness. Also those long life plastic bags from supermarkets: you need to use them more than 10 times to begin to recoup the extra energy and petrochemicals required to make the thicker bags. Swith to cotton/jute etc bags NOW!!

So happy to have sent something in to Green Thing. Hey guys and gals keep up the good work!
PS My sister loved the Glove Love pair I sent her for Christmas.

Too late for this year, but I am now making a list of homemade gifts for everyone for next year. So far I am planning willow withie garden supports, hand beaded key fobs/handbag charms, homemade chutnies and jams, home made candles and a selection of hand knitted items (hats, socks, i-pod covers). Maybe even some hand made note books. Should keep me busy through the next 12 months! The money I save will go to charity. Also hope to wean our family off paper Christmas cards for next year but I hate e-cards.

Received my gloves today - Simone and Georgina (thanks Rich at greenthing). I am planning a "green" (well actually grey and purple) outfit - scarf knitted by a friend of mine as part of a stash swap, second hand jacket from friend who had a very successful diet (!), and hand decorated beret using reject glass beads from another friend's hobby. Thanks Green Thing - I've had a great start to the week thanks to your Glove Love project!

I just bought some "glove love" gloves as Christmas presents for green friends (and one for myself!).
