Sometimes hard to be eco-friendly

I have decided to try to do everything George Monbiot says. Perhaps it is because Bangladesh is going to be one of the first countries to be affected by climate change, or because I find myself pumping my fist and saying "Yes!" every time I read one of his articles.

The other day he advised us all to eat less meat, and I found myself writing "tilapia" on my shopping list. I have changed all of my lightbulbs and I now recycle religiously; my friends have threatened to teach me to ride a bicycle.

My eating life revolves around a veg box that appears by magic on the doorstep every Tuesday with notes on how best to prepare purple-sprouting broccoli.
