Reduce noxious chemicals in the environment

A bunch of greens is an interesting blog site by a woman giving her ideas for small changes.  The list shows what you should avoid but is something that would involve more careful shopping and possibly an initial cost to replace things.  Verdigris does sell cosmetics and cleaning products that aren't noxious and tick all those boxes!

Organic vegetable boxes - update

It has been a while since I received my organic vegetable box from the Ferme Sainte Barbe.  I haven't actually re-ordered since.  This is partly because of the price - 15Euros wasn't particularly cheap - and also because of the choice of vegetables and fruit.  This is the disadvantage of the ready selected boxes:  they will give you what is in season (or what they have in abundance!) and this doesn't always suit.  I may try again but in the meanwhile try to buy as much organic or local produce I can from the supermarkets and markets.

Organic Vegetable boxes

Very exciting news, I took delivery of my first organic fruit and veg. box at the weekend.  It came from Ferme Sainte Barbe and it was delivered to the home of someone in my local GAC - a group buying scheme where I live.  Quality seems fine but not really that cheap at 15 Euros. I will let you know what it is like.

Organic vegetable and fruit boxes

I am looking forward to getting my first organic vegetable box next week. You order a box on the Wednesday and they are delivered to a central point on the Saturday.  The vegetables and fruit come from the Ferme Sainte Barbe http://www.fermesaintebarbe.be/
