Whilst we have increased our purchases of organic meat from a local farm and had consideration for Fair Trade during a year in which the emphasis has been on making poverty history, it is only in the past few days, following some hard-hitting television re Christmas Lunch that we have decided that we should aim for ALL our meat to come from our local source. In addition, over the past few months, we have benefitted from the freshness, taste, seasonality and variety of the contents of a fortnightly veg. box from nearby Cambs.

Stop Taking Plastic Bags From Shops - 22 Dec 2005
A few fabric bags and a Bag For Life have been placed in the car. The trick will be remembering to take them into the shop! Our household includes one person with walking difficulties and another who is Registered Blind. It is, therefore, essential for us to use internet shopping for larger amounts. We do wish that, as the supermet does use carrier bags, it would try to put more items in each bag – single items are not uncommon. That said, we do send any surplus back next time we have a delivery.

Our household comprises 3 adults , Jeff, Jo, Angela (Jo’s Mum) and our cat, Turbo. We heard of Generous from Tim at church. Living in Milton Keynes, recycling paper and bottles is a way of life, so to commit to it afresh here would be unfair. Likewise, we have used longlife bulbs and composting for some time.
