We've chosen not to have any advertising on our blog - okay, except Marcia's inspiring book!! - but we do support the idea of Global Giving.

Friday once again, and time for this week’s ‘Being Green‘ post. The title for this post was inspired by a couple of articles I read this week. The first was, “It’s not easy being a green consumer“, and it begins with:
