Hello and Welcome

When I was at college, many moons ago, we were all aware of global warming, the Greenhouse Effect and the damage that we were all doing to the planet. Since then, precious little has been done. I include myself in this list of "just too busy to be bothered to dye my hand knitted socks with the juice of an onion" brigade - but at long last I have decided to stand up and be counted.I am determined to be greener and to save little bits of my planet, but I refuse to pay through the nose for the privilege. So my quest - and yes, I have chosen to accept it - will be to be greener but save money at the same time.
