Dinner today has been a real hotchpotch of leftovers and things mouldering in the fridge. We had ready meal cod in parsley sauce, leftover pork chop, fried rice made with leftover rice, egg, the two remaining runner beans, half a pepper, bacon and spring onions. Then a banana for dessert.
BB has just told me that Brazil is to declare itself fuel independent (or something). They have been sponsoring a programme using ethanol to run their cars for the last two decades and all new cars are dual fuel cars, with something like 70% of old cars being already dual fuel. That's very forward thinking of them. Why can't everyone else be the same? I think Iceland is well on their way also. So it can be done - and not just by tiny island states (who have no excuse).

Isn't that the way you got gastroenteritis some time ago?
Good for Brazil. The bank is supposed to have made itself environmentally neutral sometime last year. But everyone I say this to just scoffs.

How has they managed to do that (or claim to do that)? I want to pass tips on to my office who are having an environmental drive. Apparently, they've been environmentally friendly for years, but you wouldn't know it from the reams of scrap paper at the photocopier.
