Tis' the season to be jolly ( and green : )

Some interesting festive facts....

"The cost of the average Christmas lunch, with wine and crackers, is
estimated to be £14 per person but the ingredients could have flown 84,612
miles producing the same amount of greenhouse gas from planes as 50,000
three bedroom semis in a year. So when shopping look for locally produced
food and wine to help the planet and support local businesses!"
Times 20/11/2006

"In 2004 we sent 744 million Christmas cards and if all were recycled it
would have saved 248,000 trees. Last year only 82 million cards were
recycled but this meant 1,630 tonnes of rubbish diverted from landfill."
Green Guide

"In 2001 of the 7.5 million Christmas tress bought only 1.2 million were
recycled the rest created enough rubbish to fill the Albert Hall in London
three times over. Why not buy a tree with roots?"
