Angel or Devil?
How hard is it to live in an ethical way?
In this section we ask you to challenge us to make certain lifestyle changes each week.
Though the intention is that these changes will lead to better living we are not opposed to attempting anything providing it is legal and technically possible!
Week Fifteen - An impressive package?
We have had recycling challenges and challenges to reuse things but what if we didn't need to?
There is so much packaging on things - is it possible to avoid products that haven't been wrapped excessively..?
Previous challenges and results
Susie usually tries her hardest to live a 'green' life but she has a weak spot... an addiction to sandwiches... pre-packaged ones...
Monday
Had to get some food in since La was getting back to London (i.e. I am no longer allowed to live on toast alone) so went to the supermarket.
Got vegetables without bags and left them loose in the basket but did have to get some meat in a packet.
Maybe I can use make it into a boat and take it to the park...
Tuesday
Did pretty well - resisted the sandwich temptation on the way home and finished off some pasta from last week instead (though this originally came in another plastic box thing... guess now I have two boats...?)
Wednesday
Avoided the amazing lure of the sandwiches but failed miserably by getting all dehydrated far from home so had to by a bottle of water.
Lara's had friends over for dinner so I stole all the left overs - cooking for more people is quite packaging friendly though.
Thursday
Biscuits with honey on for lunch (being lazy) - so no package wasting. Reused yesterdays evil water bottle in order to try to redeem myself.
Dinner is BBQ at a friends (woohoo - summer is here) and so she is cooking for loads of people which means less packaging there too.
Feeling that it is a bonus that I don't really by much else apart from food. Hmmm food....

Tuesday
Just found out what the challenge is for this week and am failing already!
On my way home I bought green beans in a plastic thingy majig, brochhili wrapped in plastic, aubergine in a bag, oh and italian sweet peppers in plastic bag!
I suck.
Apologies now to the anti-plastic fairies.
I promise to do better tomorrow. x
