I don't know if anyone caught the item on Womans Hour on Weds 17th February ? Here's a link.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00qmd5x#synopsis
The debate was that being green put too much pressure and extra work on working women particularly 'working class' women who were apparently not able to organise themselves enough to take a bag with them to the supermarket and had to use a new plastic bag ! I thought that some of the comments were extremly patronising.
Being green is a great way to save money and buying locally produced food is far cheaper for things like vegetables and eggs than buying from the supermarket. If you are on a low income then why would you not want to save money by cutting down on waste and buying cheaper food ? There are a lot of people in the media now pushing the myth that only the middle classes can afford to be green and that working class people don't care enough to make the effort. It does annoy me intensly!
Anyway hope you get the chance to listen to the programme!

WISHES FROM THE SEA CHRISTMAS TREE 2009
 |
SEA once again had a special Christmas tree in St Nicholas and St Faith church display of trees decorated by different groups in the town.
Ambika made us a wonderful tree from plastic bags, and people were encouraged to write wishes for the Environment and hang them on the tree.
|
25 wishes were hung on the tree.
- 7 wished for recycling to be increased – including 2 hopefuls who wished for chocolate to be recycled!
- 3 wished for no more animals to be killed.
- 1 wished that no more animals’ habitat should be destroyed.
- 1 wished for world peace.
- 3 wished for no more plastic bags.
- 3 wished for less litter.
- 1 wished for no more pollution.
- 3 wished for Saltash to lead the way as an environmental and caring community.
- 1 wished for less oil dependency.
- 1 wished for a place for everyone in the world.
Thank you to everyone who came and saw the trees and made a wish.
