A friend of mine just commented the other week, however, that he did not intend to change his diesel car for a petrol model just yet, because of the risk that whoever ultimately bought it might use it more than he does and that therefore he is doing the planet a favour by hanging onto it for occasional use only. Lots of ways of looking at these issues, I guess.Caree Risoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454194093120715901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654253685772660318.post-41309810347230479992017-07-29T12:03:21.779+01:002017-07-29T12:03:21.779+01:00Thank you for the link to the Action on sugar webs...Thank you for the link to the Action on sugar website. I find it hard to give up, having always had a sweet tooth, but I am restricting my cakes and pastries to only ones I make myself, in which I can limit the sugar. And don't get me started on added salt - I try to avoid processed food altogether.<br />You have inspired me to attempt to not bring any more plastic into the house!Maddyhttp://www.maddyathome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654253685772660318.post-37539770845033183252017-07-26T17:28:10.159+01:002017-07-26T17:28:10.159+01:00There was recently an article in the local newspap...There was recently an article in the local newspaper about ways to lessen one's carbon footprint. Ways that go beyond changing lightbulbs or hanging laundry outside to dry. Things like having one less child, taking one less airplane per year and living car-free. I have been debating giving up my vehicle for close to a year now; it's hard to take the next step although I want to. I ride my bike most of the time in good weather but where I'm from we have tough winters. I hope to come to a resolution one way or the other soon.
