Challenge 1: No more supermarkets!
New year, new challenges! How about I choose ‘them challenge’ instead of it finding me? Great idea! I’ve experimented with a few green ideas a little here and there in 2011… but nothing too spectacular or mind blowing. I’m greatful

Where’s the love?
This is a word I’m very interested in lately. LOVE. So simple, yet so powerful. In the circles of environmental and animal rights activists, I find myself surrounded with people that don’t particularly LOVE humans or Man or whatever word
