1. Organise Your Money (What You Want To Give Away) - 13 Oct 2007

   Not with CAF, but directly with a couple of organisations & some old friends who are doing voluntary work.

2. Shelve The Bottled Water - 27 May 2008

   I’m not sure we’ve ever bought bottled water at home, and very rarely when we’re out – we almost always take our own tap water in reusable (plastic) bottles. I guess it dates from school lunches.

   Our office has just decided to stop providing bottled water at meetings, and will provide tap water in jugs instead. This is part of a government wide policy (see e.g. http://www.planetark.com/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/47408/story.htm)

3. Relieve The Postie - Get Your Bills Online Instead - 27 May 2008

   I get most of my bills online, and file them on the computer.

   I wonder why Royal Mail is encouraging this? After all, when they don’t have bills to deliver, they’ll only be left with junk mail!

4. Will My Son Become The Local Blacksmith? - 27 May 2008

   I love living in a town which has a real cobbler, but I don’t know who’s going to do the job when he finally (insert whatever old cobblers do…)

5. Choose to have one meat-free day a week in your home - 16 Jun 2009

   This has been normal for years, and we’ve brought up three huge teenage boys on it. Actually it’s more like alternating meat & non-meat evening meals, and only occasionally having ham, pate or some such in the sandwiches.

   I’ve been staying with my parents 2-3 nights a week for almost a year, and have pursuaded them I don’t need so much meat – and it’s probably doing them good too!

   But still, I thought it was time to sign up for one of these actions again.
