Over the past few years I have endeavoured to become a greener Flighty as I’ve become far more environmentally aware, thanks in part to various blogs that I’ve read on the subject.
At Christmas I was given a copy of Reduce Reuse Recycle by Nicky Scott which, although small (5″ x 6 1/2″) and slim (just less than 100 pages), is packed with good ideas for cutting consumption and reducing rubbish.
The bulk of it, some 60 pages, is an A – Z guide which answers most recycling questions. Reading through it there are plenty of things that I haven’t been doing but will, which means that I should become an even greener Flighty.
Earth Pilgrim – a year on Dartmoor is tomorrow’s Natural World programme on BBC2 at 8.00pm, which sees world-renowned ecologist Satish Kumar exploring the ancient woods and rivers through the changing seasons.
It’s being repeated on Sunday on BBC2 at 6.10pm, immediately after Wild Wensleydale which takes a half hour look at James Herriot country.
Have a good weekend!
Flighty's plot 
Oh, your mention of James Herriot reminds me of one of my favouritest books – his cat stories with gorgeous watercolour illustrations by Lesley Holmes. I wonder if you’ve ever come across it.

I found a brick in the garden, while digging, cleaned it up and put it in the toilet’s tank to conserve water. Easy! I’m curious now about that book, might pop into the library and see if I can find it there.

Sinta well done on a very cheap and easy conservation action!
The book is well worth a look just for the illustrations, which I seem to recollect are quite charming.

Hi Flighty – that looks like a great book, must add it to my wish list. I’ve got a little ‘Reduce Your Carbon Footprint’ book to work on and ‘1001 Ways you can save the Planet’, that I’ll be blogging about sometime in my quest to reduce my carbon footprint goal!
Also have a look at this site from my sidebar sometime. It has ways to recycle things that you wouldn’t think are recyclable!
