My husband bought me home an article from the London lite paper explaining that there is to be a eco-cinema. It is to open in London on the 9th October ‘08.

Ms Sally Wilton 53 Is to open The Lexi Cinema in Kensal Rise, it will seat 80 and show arthouse, retrospective and mainstream films. The Josh on the Rocks bar will serve fair-trade wine and Organic ice cream.

Ms Wilton said “The Lexi will be housed in Pinkham Hall and retain its Edwardian features.”

All the profits will go to the Sustainability institute, which supporst the Lynedoch Ecovillage being built in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

I tried mine out for the first time today and i really enjoyed going to all the loose veg, They were great really strong and easy to cleen, so i could wash the one i used for pototoes, they are great,nobody said anything at the till about them so they were open minded. I think they are a great investment and i will be using them every time i need my fruit and veg from town. There were so many prepacked tomatoes that i was glad of the one vine option they did do which were loose, i may need another pouch of them though i was only able to get 5 different things.

I got mine from:-

Car seat

I know a car isnt eco friendly but when James is about to take us on longer journey’s the car seat i am going to get just one that will last from birth to 4years . There is no need for my baby to be carried around in a car seat so i am not going to use the early ones.

My car seat i will buy new because i need to know that it has not been in an accedent and my baby is going to be safe.

Sling

Sometimes it isn’t going to be practical to use the pram,and with not having the car seat i have chosen a sling. So baby. You can cuddle up close and even descreatly breast feed whilst there in it. I’ll probably get natural because it has not been tampered with.

I have a pram if i really need to use it so there is no point in buying a new one, it would not be that ethical of me to do so, even though i have been on the look out. I don’t see the point in selling one to get another.

I have tried a couple of different reusable bags but my faverote has to be my onya bags, they come in all colours. The best thing about them is that they fold up in to a pouch which you can clip on to your hand bag. They are made from parachute material which makes them really strong.

I have got very exited about a new onya pouch which has bags in for your veg, they don’t weigh anything and can be used as a colander. I don’tknow about you but i am getting a little sick of seeing the plastic bags for your veg and fruit. I tend just to leave them loose to the annoyance of whoever is serving me. Someone did try and pack some fruit for me at the checkout now if i wanted it in a plastic bag i would have put it in one myself.

Did you know? The 9 major supermarket chains give away 17.5 billion plastic bags a year! (Packaging Today 19th April 2004)
