What do you do for your part of being kind to the environment? I try, but I think I could get better, mainly on the walk more / drive less side of things.
Do you reusable bags for shopping? Yes.
Do you compost your waste? No, we don't have a composter thingy.
Do you recycle? Yes.
Are you careful with what you buy? like what? Hmmmm, I don't know. Food wise I try to buy freerange eggs, chickens, organic fruit if it's not too expensive.
Do you buy Dolphin friendly? I don't buy much fish products, so it's not really an issue for us.
Do you buy animal-free tested products? Depends, for make up I do, I use the Innoxa with is not tested on animals. The shampoo I have at the moment is also cruelty free. Otherwise I have products, like creams and other lotions/potions that I'm sure have been tested on animals.
Do you buy barn laid or free range eggs? For well over a decade now I've only been buying freerange eggs.

Is wood heating a bad thing though? if we didn't have a wood fire we would use electricity or gas heating as long as the trees are being re planted?? or if you use those recyled block things???
Until they develop a car and or renuable enery sorce for out cars I don't think we can really do much other than bust our butts riding bikes and driving tiny cars etc???

Do you buy barn laid or free range eggs? free range only
