I'm shocked 'cos I'm getting more green. I'm anti the whole media concept generally 'cos I don't believe it's only us responsible for global warming - I think the earth would heat up anyway, just as it's cooled and heated across the eons but I also think if there's stuff we can do to slow it down it's a good thing - 'spesh when it comes to things like fumes, factories, cars etc.

I've never bought a new car (always got one for pure convenience and price after a much beloved beetle got written off) and the other day I was wondering what I'd get if I did and realised the one I REALLY want is an electric one, except as far as I know you can't get them or they're exhorbitantly pricey. It's so ridiculous - imagine how much you'd save in petrol etc, 'spesh if they were solar panelled.

Another alternative for shorter trips is a segway - I'm finished for them and don't understand why they're not more popular and everywhere generally. The security dudes have them at Oliver Thambo airport and they rock. SO want to ask for try when I see them.

Mmmm - just realised my intentions aren't actually as greenly noble as I'd like to think. My main reason for liking the idea of an electric car is not having to pay for petrol or being at it's mercy and the greeness of it is an extra bonus.
