I've been feeling a bit worthy today. So, after saying a prayer to Saint Geldof (the patron saint of bourgeois worthiness) I was wandering around putting in some energy-saver lightbulbs that the occupational therapists had given us for free (is this really what OTs do all day?)

Once that was done, all my lightbulbs except except three in the landing (plus two lamps that only take 15watt pygmy bulbs anyway) are now energy savers. I'm probably not doing too bad on my carbon footprint, to be honest. I live in a modest, well-insulated flat where you only have to turn the heating on for an hour or so before it starts to get stuffy. I've only just started learning to drive after spending my 20s using public transport. I'm usually pretty good about turning the TV and digital box off at the wall rather than leaving it on standby. Al Gore is my homeboy.

I've also just signed up for a fruit and vegetable box scheme, where you pay £10.50 to get a box of organic fruit and vegetables delivered to your door. I'm a bit of a cynic about organic foods, but they don't seem to do non-organic versions of the scheme. Even so, you get 10-13 items in the box, so it's probably reasonable value (assuming one item means a bag of apples, a bunch of bananas etc, not an apple, a banana...) It should get delivered tomorrow evening.

So yeah, I am so eco-worthy. That'll offset a few coal-fired power plants in China.
