Green Resolutions (Part 2)

So far I'm doing pretty well with my resolutions; I bought some rechargeable batteries and energy saving light bulbs; every time I've been shopping I've used the "bag for life" and I've walked to the shops - good so far; I've been very careful with putting the right amount of water in the kettle, but as yet I haven't bought any locally produced food, but my wife is at the market now, so that one is covered.

So pleased with all of this, I'm going to give myself a self-congratulatory pat on the back. I'm also going to come up with some more resolutions - it's a bit late for new year I know, these will be my January 20th Green Resolutions!

1. Reuse as much paper as I can, for making notes etc. Actually my wife is really good at this already - she uses the back of the receipt from the last shopping trip to write the shopping list for next time.

2. I'm almost certainly going to have to get a new car this year, probably soon, so I'll make sure I get a more fuel economic one this time (which will also save me money on tax), possibly a diesel engine - more miles per gallon (or kilometres per litre).

3. I've had loads of trouble with my electricity supplier so I shall investigate switching to a supplier that uses renewable energy - I'll avoid them if they use poorly placed wind turbines though.

I'll stop there as I'm getting dangerously close to becoming a fanatic. Here are some other blogs with green resolutions.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is
entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

I'm truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes
which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here
and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to
create your theme? Exceptional work!
