Outragous wasters!

[Stonehead]

We love yurts too!!

I'd love to live in a yurt for a while (not sure if i'd like to go in with my mum and dad - they snore

We love my tent too - its a tipi (not a real one...ho hum).

I'd just like to have all the expensive improvements done for me while i spend a week in a yurt living carbon neutrally. Maybe we can get them to do it while we live at BGG next year!

Well, thanks to this thread we watched the programme tonight - and I want to live in the House of Correction permanently. I thought that not only was the yurt great, but it came with everything I'd consider mod-cons - solar shower, running water from the stream, solid fuel stove in the yurt and a solid fuel cooker in the semi-outdoor kitchen, twin loos, even a bath!!! And they had pigs. And woodland. My idea of heaven.

But the OH says no, two weeks in a yurt would be great, but no more.

Sigh.

We caught it last night too - and our first response was "what are they complaining about - that looks like our idea of a great time!!"
I'm sure that they won't stick to all of the changes/challenges but I was pleased to see that they introduced the more eco friendly stuff into the salon - but some more eco friendly lighting, and solar water heating might be a good idea! I was amused when she went to the local spar and bought all the fruit and veg in packets then took them all out and left the packaging there - not quite the same as not buying packaged stuff at all - but hey she was making an effort and thats important and maybe the retailer will take notice and start to stock less pre-packed stuff.
It was also a really interesting point about the cosmetics - it's something I've been thinking about for a while and it's inspired me to be a lot more careful about what I buy.
