In Australia, foxes and rabbits are feral pests. They destroy eco-systems and native wildlife. There is a government bounty on foxes; they are shot, and definitely not skinned alive.

A gas fireplace is NOT cleaner in all ways - it produces more greenhouse gases.

That's simply not true.

Couldn't agree more. Do people really think their arse is more important than a forest??
An easy way to cut down how much shampoo, bodywash etc you use is to use solid products instead of liquid - use a solid shampoo, use a bar of soap instead of bodywash.
The outside of my fridge normally feels hot, not cold. I would think if you insulated it, you'd be trapping the heat the fridge is trying to get rid of, and so you'd make it work harder - costing e...
How is using a dryer green anyway? And even if sachets last ten loads, that's still a disposable product! Why not just put the sachet in the cupboard with your sheets and scent your sheets that way?
"it could lead to people incurring great debt to try to keep up with the Joneses."
In the current environment I'd be surprised if people could borrow enough money to "incur great debt"...
Or you could (a) patch your jeans when they get a hole in them, which is a lot more "green" than just going out and buying a new pair, or buy second hand - also a lot more green.
You can turn off the tap while you lather!! And at least the water you're transporting hasn't been shipped around in trucks in plastic bottles. Oil, oil and more oil!

You can also use a hessian sack (like the sacks coffee beans come in) and some wooden stakes.

Stick a metal skewer under the lid - breaks the vacuum, opens easily.
Yeah, my parents have an antique sofa stuffed with horsehair. If you find somewhere that does restorations, they'll probably still have it.

Buying a solar washing machine, with all the energy that goes into making it, is clearly less eco-friendly than washing in cold water.
Or, you could stop using the dryer, which let's face it is about the least eco-friendly appliance there is!
I love the way the wine rack has cups in it - so cute!
The dusting would kill me!
Me too foodefafa! You can even get gummed labels that support charities and are printed on recycled paper - http://www.st...
