A little reform needed after the loose talk and lax light-turning off of the last couple of weeks. Here are my five green resolutions for the new year ...
1. I will use up absolutely everything in my veg box. I will find out what to do with turnips and I will do it.
2. We will finally sort out a compost bin. The wormery died; the bokashi bin arrived in October but just couldn't cope with the volume and is still grumbling to itself in the corner of our patio. When you have three generations eating a lot of vegetables in one house, a bottomless vat of compost is the only way forward.
3. I am going to B&Q to spend some quality time in the "draught-proofing" aisle.
4. I will finally persuade my mum that turning everything off at the socket doesn't mean it needs to be re-tuned the next day.
5. I will manage to stick to my nothing-but-organic-meat-twice-a-week pledge and not succumb to the occasional, evil bacon-sandwich-from-local-caff in the morning. I know! I know! I am weak.
What are your green resolutions? And do you have any tips for how I can best stick to mine?
