Sustainability
We’ve recently made a couple of transitional changes at home to decrease our environmental footprint: a little old lady shopping trolley so we don’t have to have our groceries delivered in endless plastic bags (which will eventually save us from the tax levies proposed in NSW and in use elsewhere in Australia already), and organic fruit-n-veg via Lettuce Deliver, an on-line shopping service that buys from local area organic farmers and delivers seasonal produce to your door (in boxes, which are re-used week-to-week). I bring it up following my discovery of Eat Manifesto, a topical weblog devoted to traditional cookery and food production.

Addendum: Over at Beyond Brilliance, Beyond Stupidity, a number of posts have gone up recently on environmental matters, including: solar power cell phone batteries and the relationship between renewable energy and jobs.

Update: What's your ecological footprint? We'd need two more planets if everyone lived like us.
