Worryingly Eco
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007 by Nigel
I don’t know why I’ve always assumed that Eco Worrier is rather on the lightweight side of the ethical-living brouhaha. Since she started her blog on The Times website it sometimes seems like she’s been thrashing around in search of something to say, angsting about whether eco-friendly paint comes in the shades she requires and fretting about not being as committed as “Guardian greenies”. But maybe I’ll have to eat my words. She’s nailing her colours to the mast with her most recent blog in which she pledges, “For one year, I am not going to buy any more new clothes…”
Instead, she’s buying only from second-hand charity shops, vintage stores and eBay. If you’ve followed her blog, you could have already intuited that her wardrobes are probably well stocked full of sartorial supplies, but nevertheless, probably for that very reason it’s going to be a tough old twelve months for her. She did, however, confess to making a last minute dash down to M&S before her year of living ethically begins.
She should, of course, have tried on some Greenknickers. I’ll hopefully be stocking their stuff on the site shortly.
Anyway, good luck to her.
