Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
Each Friday, something to think about
A walk on the natural side each Sunday (or Monday...)
The Apothecary - A place to find natural products and remedies
So how have we gotten so far off course? When the label of ‘green’ was introduced, it was seen as a mission statement; something that would entitle the customer to some sense of comfort that they product they were supporting (which was usually more expensive) was working with the Earth’s best interests at heart. Instead we have simply completed a full consumerist revolution; the label has been taken, assigned a cultural identity and used to sell a piece of a lifestyle that is intended to speak more to your peers than to subsidize an environmental commitment.

and a very Good St Patrick’s Day to you too AV! those little green feet on the seat are a lot nicer than the dirty footmarks that seem to prevail on toilet seats here in Jakarta!

>Lottie, thank you. I am not celebrating it in any special way. I thought the little green footprints were cute.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you, you are a step ahead of me if you do anything special today, for me (even with an Irish heritage) I don’t treat it any different from any other day.

>lsf, thank you and the same back. As I said above, not doing anything special. Unless installing a new printer is some peculiar ritual for St Paddy’s Day. I am about to switch off for a half hour.
