Apart from my son's nutritional issues the rest of us are veggie - but I don't fuss too much about cheese (rennet). <br /><br />This lady seem to have similar views - about sustainable living... growing and the like http://dobbyspumpkinpatch.blogspot.com<br /><br />This last 18 months has been quite an adventure for us as a family towards living a more sustainable lifestyle.... hopefully we're moving in the right direction. I'll have to get that book and see what else she says. Have a good weekend. :)Gone to Earthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16065309726263253734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-59205146710835105142009-08-27T19:05:58.323+01:002009-08-27T19:05:58.323+01:00I loved this post Julia, but now - thanks to your ...I loved this post Julia, but now - thanks to your description - I have an image of you stuck in my head - Milly Tant from Viz!! <br />I'm much happier doing simple things but friends and colleagues do think I am a nutter!

I spend a lot of time feeling that Im not worthy on my green efforts, which can make me want to give up. I have to try to keep on going a little at a time! <br /><br />I have just started (this week) blogging about my journey, mainly as a way to keep myself on track!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-53657191527747335682009-08-27T12:02:51.121+01:002009-08-27T12:02:51.121+01:00Amen to all that, Julia!

But I'll be adding this book to my list. My own dear loving family consider me to be something of a lentil-eating-nature freak...LOL! I've not eaten meat in 8 years...I wonder how many cows I've saved? Going green with you, my friend!

I haven't read the book, although I have read her other book on a year of eating only local, seasonal, home-grown food - which is very good. Have you investigated permaculture at all? I have done a PDC, and permaculture is about this sort of thing - not just growing your own, but as a set of principles for living your life in a sustainable way.<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872318647189678164.post-52396690538157638572009-08-26T16:41:25.084+01:002009-08-26T16:41:25.084+01:00how true and thought provoking.

We've (well, mainly me since I'm the one who plans the meals and shops and cooks) been hugely reducing the amount of meat we eat here for both economical and environmental reasons - I'm not sure my husband has even noticed yet!dottycookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295592896941235130noreply@blogger.com
