Welcome to my blog

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I've been doing my best to adopt a greener, more ethical lifestyle, and I know plenty of others who have too. There are aspects of it which have made my life easier or more pleasant, but there are other things which have given me a headache or aren't straightforward.

I plan to use this blog to share the green and ethical living tips and resources which I think everyone should know about - to shout some of them from the rooftops, I hope! I also want to explore some of the areas where it's hard to decide which route to choose - for example, is it best to buy products that are local, green or fairly traded? And where can I find products that match all three criteria?

Finally, I want to highlight things that are going on in the world which are relevant - examining government interest in green isssues and what it could mean for the rest of us, highlighting new ideas or technologies, and 'hoovering up' new ideas where possible.

This blog supports my journalism - I specialise in writing about green living but I also write about other topics including travel, parenting and reviews. And I'm working on a book. Find out more on my website (currently under development - watch this space!)

Finally, if you've got a good tip or something you'd like to say about green living, please post a comment.
