Happy Christmas Eco people
Friday, December 21st, 2007 by Nigel
What a year, eh? I’m exhausted, I don’t know about you.
Nigel’s Eco Store has been flat out for weeks; I have never known it so hectic. We’ve been careering around for what seems like forever getting the last orders out but we’ve finally got there. So thanks from everyone here for all the extraordinary support you’ve given Nigel’s Eco Store and I hope you’ve enjoyed coming here in 2007.
This has, without doubt, been an extraordinary year. I think 2007 will be thought of as the tipping point - the year when the fact of global warming finally began to sink in, worldwide, and more impressively the year when the most intransigent curmudgeons you’d least expect to catch on began to change their habits.
Rebecca Hosking - the documentary maker who persuaded the Devon village of Modbury to abandon plastic bags was talking about this on Newsnight last night. After making her documentary Message In The Waves about plastics in the sea, Rebecca was so horrified she came home and got her friends in the village to give up the bags. Modbury became the first village to ban them. Last night she was describing even the hardened old boozers outside the pub, coyly trying to hide their canvas bags from her, embarrassed that they’d been caught out agreeing with the mad eco girl. “Oi bugger…”
Meanwhile, I’m proud to say that Nigel’s Eco Store has recently been nominated for another award - the Yahoo People’s Choice awards. Please go and check it out. Vote, even.
So have a great Christmas… And see you very soon, I hope.
Thanks to Timothy K. Hamilton for the very seasonal pic.
