- You think about the wages and conditions of workers before you buy clothing
- You're in favour of having access to alternatives to mainstream healthcare
- You think charity shops are sexy, and agree that we need more adult education courses in make-do-and-mend
- You regard electric juicers and bread-making machines as just short of crazy
- You wonder why, with a record number of folks in prison, the government wants to bang up even more, rather than tough community sentences, getting reoffending down (drug treatment in prison, employment help on leaving prison), and stopping youth getting into crime in the first place
- You're not just worried about number one, and you wonder about your parents, or grandparents, and how they'll end up in retirement
- You've heard, even vaguely, about peak oil, and want to know more about the effects of it on society
- You think the first-past-the-post system of voting is a busted flush
- You have a sneaking suspicion that Labour's not as good on healthcare as they make out

er . . . I have a bread machine! I don't use it that regularly, but it is nice to have freshly baked bread now and again - does that make me ungreen but nearly sane?! I have previously pondered how green it is and wonder if any research has ever been done into the comparative carbon footprint of using a bread machine to make one loaf of bread versus a) cooking it in your oven or b) buying a loaf from the shop that may have been baked many miles away, but presumably in a big oven with lots of other loaves at the same time.
I'm going to get it in the ear for using bread machines as an example. I was aiming at gadgets more generally! This link has some comparison of buying loaves from shops vs home breadmaking machines.
Thanks for the link. Wow, I can't believe there are others pondering the carbon footprint of bread machines vs a shop-bought loaf - what exciting lives some of us Greens live!
