Simple Green Ideas today is a little different.
I’m going to introduce a blog that I visited this morning from her comment on yesterday’s post.
First four posts:
Repurpose your excess Plastic into Party Bunting
3 ways to Produce Profit or how to use your Pumpkin
How to get More than you Paid for or don’t be a Tosser
The blog is full of great ideas for reusing, repurposing and multipurposing.
Just look what you can do with a pumpkin – image: Growing Snowballs
Usually vitriolic, at times bellicose; I'm not here to be nice
A weekly challenge from Reduce Footprints blog. I try to participate weekly.
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
The Green Ink Bottle - A repository for my quotes
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.

I knitted a shopping bag out of old plastic bags, it wasn’t easy, I had to train Bloke first to cut them all into strips, you can also re-use old t-shirts or sheets for the same purpose, and they’re a lot easier to knit with than plarn!

>Shana, training Blokes, not the easiest thing in the world to do. 🙂 It can be done, but you need a lot of patience.
