My plot is also not well enough stocked at present to feed me. I'll get there though - i must keep planting lettuce seeds, I must. Seeing other people's efforts is immensely inspiring, but i'll have to wait til next year to put what I've learnt into practice.<BR/><BR/>I'd love a little car too, but it's exceptionally hard to justify it in London. Admittedly, I'm on the outskirts in sunny Crystal Palace, and it would be very handy for getting compost and flower pots, but I just can't.

When we finally bought a car last year (even a devilishly fuel efficient one at that!) after coping all our adult lives without one I felt terrible. Never mind that we seldom use it and we're very good about using public transport...<BR/><BR/>Same with food and recycling and, well, you name it.<BR/><BR/>I think that the reality for most people is that we can all only do so much and still survive in the modern world. And no matter how green/organic/ethical we are, there will alawys be more we can do.<BR/><BR/>So don't beat yourself up - keep up the evangelising and get others who are doing less than you to start to change!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10388715.post-1119360633137137242005-06-21T14:30:00.000+01:002005-06-21T14:30:00.000+01:00Hi Alwhy on earth do you have to BUY lunch?
