bulbs, trees and and pop!

faffing around in blogland today i remembered my friend saga's discovery for a partial remedy for plane travel. a short haul flight, for example a flight from london to portugal, produces 0.6 tonnes of CO2 per person and you can help neutralise this effect by buying a tree or an energy-saving lightbulb for a developing community. sounds weird? click here to find out more http://www.carbonneutral.com/acatalog/index_shop_flights_short.asp
(there is also a section dedicated to eco gifts which features a wind-up mobile phone charger.)

in other news, tonight promises to be a marvellous evening of bad television and good company as eurovision gets under way on the lower falls... uncork the chardonnay and pass me my faux leopardskin handbag, dahling.
