Hi, my name is Rachael (bit obvious from the user name!

). I am a vegan from Edinburgh with a fairly long-term interest in eco-friendly living and frugality. Presently I'm bit limited in my self-sufficiency ambitions by my total lack of garden, Edinburgh City Council's long allotment waiting list, and a rule in the deeds of my flat which says I'm not even allowed a windowbox! So at the moment my efforts are mainly related to using eco-friendly products, buying as ethically as possible, trying to minimise my energy usage, and growing a small amount herbs and sprouts indoors. Hopefully this will change soon though.
Pleased to meet you all!
