A bit of Fairy Magic

Disney character Tinkerbell has officially left Neverland in order to encourage us to be a bit greener and keep our world a bit cleaner. The UN has appointed Disney’s most infamous fairy Tinkerbell as an “Honorary ambassador of green” in order to make younger children more aware of the environment in an engaging way.

As the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December is drawing nearer, the UN is working very hard on promoting the importance of environmental issues among politicians as well as private individuals including children. And what a better way to interest children than using a sympathetic green fairy that cares about the environment?

If you going to do it Green .....Do it Right!........No cooking allowed!

Of course any eco-extremists worth their salt will not only consider their energy output, but also their input. And the raw food movement is leading the way in fanatically eco-conscious eating.

Devotees of this radical diet turn their noses up at anything that has been roasted, fried, boiled or steamed, and hence tend to avoid meat and fish as well. They point to the diet’s health benefits as well as its environmental merits, which include their reliance on organic and locally sourced food, with carbon wastage in its preparation.

Some environmental fanatics even go beyond caring what passes through their lips, to an obsession with what passes out the other end. Reusable toilet wipes, are now available in a host of, ahem, funky designs from companies such as WallyPop. And many people believe that composting their own excrement is another good way to save the planet... hmmmmmm

To be or Not to be...........!!!!!!!!!!

hmmmmmmmm Halloween subject...lol

How can the extreme eco-warrior ensure that he/ she remains eco-friendly even from beyond the grave? Well a glossy board casket and chemical embalming are certainly out - and cremation also creates a woefully large carbon footprint.

But, given the option of being turned into a nutrient-rich green-brown sludge that may be used as fertiliser, would you take it? The process of resomation is a new, more energy-efficient means of disposing of human remains gaining popularity among the environmentalist community. It works by dissolving fat and tissues in alkali and hot water, leaving only a sprinkling of powdered bone behind. Visit Resomation Ltd for more details.
