Ok, firstly i apologise because these last two blogs have been a bit serious. This is not intentional, merely happened that these thoughts entered my head these last few days.
So firstly in response to a certain comment from Tajudin Abdullahi-named and shamed! lol. No, i think he makes a good point. It's very easy to say we should change, and to even want to change. However to actually go ahead and change is something very different. BUT, it is something we really must consider even if it means giving up one or two of our home comforts. So, just thought i'd say what i aim to do: avoid using air travel, buy local produce where possible, cut down on the amount of meat/eggs/dairy i eat (not massively, just making sure i don't eat too much), try to walk where possible, and try to stick an extra jumper on rather than use extra fuel heating the house. There you go, a few of the things i am going to try and do...
So the title of todays blog refers to The Constant Gardener. I don't have much to say about it. Except if you have not seen it-see it, and if you have seen it check out some of these-scarily similar facts. (I mention this because i watched it again a few days ago).
What the movie missed
Drugs testing
Ok, serious stuff over, jus a quick note to say Happy Birthday to Katherine, 21 today, and in a retirement home tomorrow. Tehehe. I promise the blog will have a lighter topic tomorrow!
Thought for the Day: As the film says...'Big pharmaceuticals are right up there with the arms dealers. It's how the world f***s Africa.

That's it, you've started it.
From now on its iWAR.
Why are you going to cut down on meat eggs and dairy products??!! Am I really stupid to not follow?
I am controlling all of my bills online to save paper??!!
Animals require global hectares...For example american cattle ranches are very bad drains on resources-the land they use and the grain they eat use too many natural resources to make it sustainable
Ooooooooo...ok. Hmmmm...I will try to do my bit but I will find it very difficult!! My favourite foods are probably steak, cheese, and milk (I realise that isn't actually classed as milk). However I do pose an arguement for it. If animals take up alot of hectares...we should all become vegetarians. BUT then surely we would need more land on which to grow crops?
Doesn't mean no animal produce-just not excessive amounts of it. It's all about balance (not just balanced diets, i mean an envrionmental balance).
Lol...I know!
