In 2009 I kept to some of my resolutions; I use eco reusable bags when shopping instead of plastic, I bought and use post consumer recycled paper for printing and post consumer recycled envelopes for letters, I pick up an organic fruit and vegetable box sourced from local farmers every week reducing trips to the super market and excess, non essential packaging, I walk a lot more instead of driving, I even started a compost bucket. One thing I have not yet fully achieved is growing my own veggie patch. I have started and dabbled but not fully succeeded.

I have had a mental block regarding this as I do not own my home. I think even if I grow food then have to move out at least someone else if they so choose can benefit from this. Even if they don’t the soil quality will be improved from all my wonderful compost I mean isn’t this what it’s all about sharing to make this world a better place and planting more for a greener world.

2010 will see me focussing more on my planting and learning how to grow my own food – a skill we all should consider acquiring even if we live in small places with no yard space. You can still grow food indoors.
