After a nice relaxing break this has been my first week back at work and it's been mental: preparing ads for magazines, writing copy for resources, getting quotes off designers and working my way through a backlog of emails. Anyway my head is now officially above water and the blogging will hopefully recommence!
A couple of weeks ago at work we ran a carbon footprint league table. Unsurprisingly I was distinctly mid-table, which was rather embarassing as I'm always the one who ends up talking about Traidcraft's environmental policy and doing seminars on ethical living. To compensate for my destruction of the world and all who live in it I'm trying to discover a more environmentally friendly way of getting to work that doesn't break the bank and today for the first time I cycled. It only took half an hour (roughly the same time as driving or on public transport) but on the downside I'm shattered, my hair is all fuzzy and I fear the journey home is much harder than the journey here!
Way to go Phil,
You'll be amazed at how quickly a half hour ride becomes easy if you keep doing it.
Peadal on!

One of my young people said to me - Ben, if we keep destroying the world, aren't we becoming more like Jesus in the last days, isn't it a good thing to follow Jesus' example!!
I explained.
ps, I’m back.

bike power, go for it, its true it get's easier ... maybe you should suggest traidcraft have showers and bacon butties at the other end to help motivate the morning?
