So it’s Meat Free Monday and I, being in a hurry this morning (and very hungry) bought myself a bacon and cheese sandwich, which I then realized I couldn’t eat. So I had some muesli and yoghurt and took the bacon off the sandwich. Commitment is so bittersweet. Trying to find something yummy to eat on campus has led to a bit of frustration. Ending in me eating a packet of chips (mostly due to the fact that our cafeteria only offered peas as a vegetable.) I suddenly have a new appreciation for vegetarians. Will have to make my own supper tonight.. Enough ranting.
I’m assessing my wardrobe. Let’s face it. This not usually the first thing one changes when going green. Reading a view articles most people agree that wearing things that already exist is the best way to go. One can of course always add things to these old garments or change them in any way to ensure that your look is fresh and updated. Furthermore there is consensus on the types of fabrics that should be worn when buying clothes as these fabrics are made to lessen the impact on the environment by for example saving water. Fabrics recommended are wool, hemp, organic cotton, soy silk, bamboo etc. The newspaper dress shown is beautiful…tad bit extreme but I might try it when I feel adventurous.
Placing shopping on my agenda this week has also led me to conclude that it is time to buy some re-usable shopping bags. I have however been using the bags I get in shops as dustbin liners, so they have not gone to waste.
