Well I got this week's change-a-week away late; I bought vaguely eco-friendly (carbon balancing) car insurance from the coop; the main justification actually being that they are nice eg ethical investments and all the many schemes and good causes they fund. But it also does a bit of cabon balancing. Given what i had to pay for it they should really come around and fit some loft insulation too.
I have also inadvertently given up smoking (day 9 and counting) more on the basis that it was stupid than any worries about unbiodegradable filters, although that has been raise on sites like treehugger.com
The great thing is that its so quiet around here I can prob get away with the sheer volte-face hypocrisy of it all (pledge against change posts should probably be eaten in a vodcast moment of attritition, but printing them off would be the major eco snag)!

Rest assured John, it's noted.

Dammit! You're never alone on a blog. I thought of a funny forfeit; I could wear a t-shirt saying "Mr U-Turn" to the planning and/vs blogging debate. I'd would be a desperately 'in' joke if you & I are the only ones who know about it though

My stats tell me there were 18 page views of this blog today. I've looked at it twice, so unless you've looked at it 16 times there might be someone else laughing.

I told you so!!!
Quick question, how in god's name do you get carbon balancing car insurance? Surely insurance is a service (therefore intangible) that does not have much of a carbon footprint save for a few pieces of paper that all insurance companies have to send you in case you get your collar felt.
Please let me know if I'm wrong or if they do come and insulate your house or fit a solar powered door bell or something.
