The hardest time of year for a greenie?

It's a cold dank morning here in the North East of England and it's got me down green-wise. The heating is on, the compost heap has gone into hibernation for the winter, the solar panel has packed it in until the sun comes out, the car starts looking a better option than the bicycle, and suddenly the idea of a 40inch plasma TV for evening entertainment doesn't seem so ludicrous after all. Never mind the tat-tastic festive season on the horizon.

On the other hand, this year's chutney is made, the organic veg bag is full of great soup making ingredients, and, errrmmm, that's about it really...

Roll on Spring!
