I’ve decided to take up Melinda’s Challenge! So for every purchase in 2009 I’ll hopefully be asking myself :
1. Do You Really Need It?
If you do…
2. Buy it Locally.
3. Buy it Fair Trade.
4. Buy it Green.
5. Buy it To Last.
In the hope that this doesn’t get lost amongst my varied personal goals for 2009, I aim to post regular updates on my Sustainable Shopping Habits. I wish you all the best for your hopes and dreams for the year ahead too!
I’m following the train here!

Totally enjoying the beautiful beeswax crayons from Spiral Garden that the girls found in their Christmas stockings…I am sure they tick all the boxes above. Thanks Bel…
