Vote Blue, Go Green

This is not new news, but as they are still commenting on it in the news and Fabiana has a magazine downstairs that reminded me of it, it seemed necessary to share...

So we all need to do our part to prevent waste (see yesterday's link) and conserve what we have left of our planet (including the French with their nuclear testing in Fiji). David Cameron, the Conservative leader is helping by riding his bicycle to work everyday. However, he is followed through the streets of London congestion by an official car carrying his briefcase, work shoes and boxes of documents -- hee hee hee. He is making other efforts to make his home more energy efficient, etc. but this is just amusing.

In other environmental news, there was a rather significant article in The Independent this week in which Ken Livingston, the mayor of London, recommended following the old adage: 'If it's yellow, let it mellow.' Now, mama, I am not being rude; just reporting the news, ma'am! This was almost an entire page of how the mayor's household does not flush toilets with only urine...

Another note to my mama to ease her mind: Bausch and Lomb's MoistureLoc contact solution that causes the horrific fungal infection, which can lead to blindness, is the solution made by the 'Greenville USA' (am assuming SC) plant. The solution that I buy is produced in Italy and the Irish Medicines Board has claimed no danger from this plant. Additionally, if you click on the B&L link above, you can get a coupon for a free bottle of other B&L solutions (up to a value of $8) or for a refund of MoistureLoc purchased in the US.
