I'm thinking of having a retail hangover. I had a fairly gentle holiday season, but still spent more than I think I wanted to, and I'm well aware of the WASTE. So... what if I tried retail abstinence? Nice idea. Only buy groceries, fuel, and the consumibles (cat litter, medicines, etc) in January. That would mean, perhaps, deferring retail needs a bit. It would certainly mean prohibiting impulse purchases. I wonder what impact this would have on our family's garbage output? Energy output?

Quakers at Copenhagen: The Morning After. 'We agreed it was important to have a stronger Quaker presence in the overall climate change process. We also agreed that one's first COP [Conference of the Parties] was very much a learning experience - trial by fire. Much needs to be done to make this better/more effective for future Quakers at COPs.' Posted by Johan Maurer
