WITH HEALTH IN MIND & WANTING TO UNDERSTAND THE FOOD WE EAT, WE ARE AT LAST BEGINNING
A COOKERY CLUB! beginning Thursday 4th February. Initially by invitation only. We'll discuss what we want to do, with some tastings & snacks
I read The Message Bible every day because it 'speaks' in a way I understand. I need to know how God feels about me and what happens when I search for Him!
God made my life complete
Plastic waste has become a global catastrophe. The oceans will contain more plastics than fish by weight by 2050. Seabirds, whales and other marine life eat plastic pollution and die by choking, intestinal blockage and starvation. When fish eat tiny plastic particles, it can affect animals higher in the food chain, including humans.
The eco-chic cosmetics chain -- founded 40 years ago by the late environmentalist and British socialite Anita Roddick -- said that it plans to use a special plastic composed of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere to make bottle lids and containers for its popular body butters.

Hope you find this encouraging!
God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before Him.
When I got my act together,
He gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways He works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes.
(This is from Psalm 18 verses 20-24 The Message)
Following on from other plastic revolution that I've found - how about this from Bodyshop?

The new packaging looks almost identical to the existing containers, pictured here. But it is actually made from pollution, as opposed to causing it.
