There's no plastic recycling where I live either, so an alternative to it is a welcome change.

Lozza commented on a story: Ask SmartPlanet: is organic food healthier than 'normal' food?
I don't think it's true that the organic movement is responsible for knowledge of local food and seasonality -- until the current generation of shoppers, people bought locally and seasonally because that is what was available and best-priced.

Grow your own basil in a pot on your kitchen windowsill (it's easy from seed) and you'll save that £1.29... :)

We got our flat-screen TV repaired in December after it broke down, and it worked out much cheaper than getting a new one. It was quite hard to find a repair place though, some of them wanted money up front which was not returned if they couldn't fix the problem. When we did find one, it felt much better than just dumping the old one and shelling out all over again.

Lozza commented on a story: Dragons' Den plastic bag bin hits shops
I've been so good about using my reusable shopping bags I now find myself with a shortage of carrier bags to use as bin-bags - d'oh! Is there an ethical solution to this? I have to have some kind of lining in the small bins around the house.

Lozza commented on a story: Do naked cyclists make cycling safer?
The event gets cycling in the news, but I can't see that it relates to actual cycling--where your main focus is getting from A to B in one piece, regardless of what you're wearing...

Lozza commented on a story: When etiquette and green intentions collide
"throwing away 200 barely used plastic cups"...I haven't got enough friends to worry about running out of real cups and glasses!

Lozza commented on a story: Interview: Charlie Dimmock talks compost
Composting is also ideal protection against ID theft - if you shred important documents and then compost them, they're never going to fall into the wrong hands!

If they are in good condition, and especially if they are known good brands, eBay is also a good option.
