Um. I recycle. And I don't own a car, plane or petrol-fuelled lawnmower. And I do drink lots of tap water. But beyond that, not all that green, really. *thinks and ponders things he could change* Oh, dear… Um. I recycle. And I don’t own a car, plane or petrol-fuelled lawnmower.

Right now I am using Seventh Generation Free and Clear cleaning products: dish soap, laundry, toilet cleaner, all purpose cleaning spray. Can't tell any real difference from Ecover, both are great products. Seventh Generation also has recycled paper products of all kinds. Just a note: when I was off line due to the great ice storm I went to the local library and tried to visit my favorite blogs. Their ridiculous electronic censor would not let me visit this blog due to the fact that it found the objectionable word "fuck" in it. Oh pu-lease. So, Reed, your blog is dangerous to tender youth. I guess. I have used Ecover and I am with Reed, it is the technique and not the product.

I've realised that the main front I need to tackle in my un-greenness is recycling. We throw out so much rubbish. We're supposed to have recycling bins but our neighbours cram them with non-recyclable junk and I think the binnies have given up. So I need to find out if there are any recycling stations near where I live. Even if we just did bottles and paper it would make a big difference. You’re much better than me.

Told you I was smug and prim... Hello, Charlotte! We use Ecover. I have heard people say it 'just doesn't get the dishes clean' but I personally have no idea what they mean. Our dishes are spotless. I am inclined to think the problem is technique rather than product - you do actually have to give said dishes a good wiping, rather than letting them lie about in a bowl of suds for a bit and then rinse them (or even, <em>not</em> rinse them. Ew). Also, I have eczema and Ecover's laundry stuff is one of the few brands that doesn't make me itch like a woman dipped in a nettle bed. So I am a devoted fan.
