I don't know if anyone caught the item on Womans Hour on Weds 17th February ? Here's a link.

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!

At our post-Wave pre-Christmas gathering on Tuesday 7th December Roger organised a Green Juke Box Jury session. Ten songs with a transition or environmental theme had been selected and we voted whether each was an environmental Hit or Miss after listening to an extract - all were deemed to be HITS by a majority of the audience which was just as well as Roger, in the David Jacobs role, was equipped with a bell to ring for a hit, but no hooter for a miss!
