Super Sweet Ecojot Workbooks (Delight.com)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:35:15 GMT

We love Ecojot! Like LUV them! We are endlessly impressed with their designs and commitment to making recycled paper products that just as good-looking, and in most cases, much more so than the not so Earth friendly alternatives. And they've done it again with these gorgeous, over-sized workbooks made from 100% recycled paper! Workbooks measure 8.5" x 11". Available in Letter and Number design or...

Oh deer! Stella's new bags are not to all tastes (Hippyshopper)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:12:00 GMT

Stella's bunny bags for LeSportsac were bizarre, but cute in their own way. I'm not so sure about her latest offer, however, which is a rucksack in the shape of a deer head. The best thing I think I can say about this bag is that it's ethical and animal-free as luggage is likely to get (and having read this article on the leather industry, that's something I'm increasingly inclined to approve of)....

GREEN CHALLENGE: leftover food week day 4 (Hippyshopper)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:58:00 GMT

Well, I've made it to Friday without any outbreaks of salmonella or other nasties, so this all points to a definite lifestyle change for me. Today I may have to actually buy some food, since I cooked for half a dozen very hungry people last night who were more than willing to do the honours of 'saving food' for me.

SHOP OF THE WEEK: Greenfibres (Hippyshopper)

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 09:58:00 GMT

The best, and by far the cheapest way to avoid buying inethically produced clothing is, of course, to make your own. But what's the point in going to all that trouble if the fabrics you use come from dubious sources and are covered in pesticides?

GREEN CHALLENGE: leftover food week day 3 (Hippyshopper)

Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:23:56 GMT

So, the un-chilled, day old lentil dahl I was so worried about turned out to be very tasty (it's true what they say about some foods gaining flavour after being left to sit for a bit) and most importantly, I lived to tell the tale. I won't be nearly so worried about heating up leftovers in future, especially if they're full of garlic and spices.

Over at Tech Digest , they regularly rate and gloat over objects that aren't exactly the height of environmental friendliness, while technology as a sector still hasn't really got its act together on the green front at all: Greenpeace regularly rate a bunch of tech companies on their website and no-one is currently scoring higher than 5.1/10.

Top ways to use up stale bread (Hippyshopper)

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:55:00 GMT

Friends of the Earth's tip of the day was particularly relevant to me today: it contained recipes for stale bread. Bread is particularly difficult when you're trying not to waste food, as unless you have a family of four, the average loaf will be far too much for you to get through in a week, despite being the cheapest option when you fancy a slice or two of toast.
