Getting Greener.

Well another week has gone by and a new one about to begin. It's the school holidays here, but no break from Uni where the pressure of work continues to build up steadily.

Last Friday I decided to began the process of changing my bank from the HSBC to the Co-operative. It's something I've been meaning to do for ages and has nothing to do with the 'credit crunch' but more part of the process of 'greening' my life. So I'm moving to an ethical bank, run by the membership and without shareholders.

It's another step towards moving from talking about being green to living being green.

A few days previously I changed almost all the light bulbs to energy saving ones- finally! I had no idea how cheap they had become, so could easily afford to buy some. I've even found some halogen energy saving ones, which apparently last 10 years - but they are expensive, so it's one at a time for a while.

I think we're all getting better at turning out lights when we leave rooms, wearing slippers and putting on a jumper when feeling chilly. But it's not cold cold winter yet and I know I need the warmth to keep well, so it might be different then. I've also ordered and been waiting for a special duvet for my bed. I've been feeling cold at night for the past couple of weeks, yet the duvet hasn't arrived, even though it was ordered from the disability shop on 1st October. I hope it arrives this week.
