We've had the Green Party Conference, the Government's White Paper on the environment and this weekend (Saturday) it's the second annual Green Consumer Day. You can vote for the Greens; you can vote for this new-style environmentally -aware" Government, but your real power is in your purse.

"The aim is to make you think before you buy." SustainAbility's Ann Dimmock told Home Style.

Isn't it supposed to be clean, pure - and good for you? "Yes, but what we say is that people should be campaigning for cleaner water from the tap." says Ann Dimmock. "Buying bottled water doesn't help our polluted water situation. Neither do purifiers. They're very good, but what we want is clean water from the start." And loo blocks? "Well, many of these are full of really noxious substances. If you clean your loo properly, you don't need them. Do you?" more > Diversions 610 Recipes 614 Recipe Angling Bridge Reviews
