the mend of the world

I missed the launch of John's new book.  But I've got some other green stuff to promote.  I saw my brother the other day, who's got a proper job (editor of the environment agency magazine) and we talked lots about the crossover between what we do.  Or the lack of it, and the potential for it.  Lots to think about.  And then I got this bag from him in the post the other day.  Made of jute, of course.

Which prompted me to go and look at the Mend of the World website and make new resolutions.  I'd not heard of it before, so thought I'd pass it on.  Definitely worth a look.

I only have green resolutions this year.  My favourite one is Unplugged Night.  Once a month you spend an evening with everything unplugged and while the hours away with candles and boardgames and uncooked food.  Unless you have gas.  But that's probably against the spirit anyway.  Quite excited about the first one.  We could even put the tent up in the garden like we did when I was little.  Actually I don't know why I said that.  Of course we won't end up putting the frigging tent up.  But we will do the rest.
