It’s so good to see where/how these things are made, and feel more connected to the food you eat - soy milk has always til now been one of the many things I eat where I didn’t have even a half-sense of how it was possibly made or connected to soy beans as harvested. I have posted the link to a friend who owns a blender and suggested we make a soy-bean date, will let you know if anything other than a mess comes of it :) Thanks also so very much for having me to stay, was lovely to spend time with you and a joy to spend time in a home with so much that was home made and home grown. Love to you, Nic, 1, 2 and 3! anna xxx This is fantastic Mark!

As are everyone elses. I have had a lot of feedback on the article I wrote about perceptions of the police at climate camp, but they all came by email. But I digress. Guerilla gardening, looks like fun, not sure what the message is, though. Maybe time to stat planting guerilla food soon. Speaking of gorillas, I really want to read some Daniel Quinn. Mark Alan

At the time the video on their website had a video of the bottle dissolving in like 80 days, but I threw mine in my backyard with the elements and it's was there for two years until I threw it away. We will not be saved by people with new programs, we will be saved by people we changed minds. That's somewhat of a quote from Daniel Quinn's <i>I Am B</i>. I keep telling people in America, you don't need to buy a hybrid car, you need to find ways to drive less. Anyways, I saw this and I thought of you (because it's in London): http://www.guerrillagardening.org/wordpressblog/2008/08/30/sunflowers-of-parliament/ Some dudes went in the middle of the night back in May, 2008 and planted sunflower seeds around unused parts of London. A few months later... SURPRISE!! hahah. Sunflowers everywhere! Adios, Alan I am always cautious of those new “eco-friendly” products that have started flooding the markets these days… a few years ago I was really disturbed by how many plastic water bottles I used, so I found this one made from corn syrup.
