WHAT EARTHWORMS ARE DOING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
- an extention cord and an electric blanket (if you can afford to have a higher electricity bill from Eskom)
- cover them with old towels, carpets, cardboard (all scroungable from your local carpet installer/supermarket)
- put them inside a garage, shed, laundry where the temperature is more regulated
- or take them inside and put them near the fire.......
Warmly worming

Growing Heirloom Seeds & Seed Saving : Tips for Seed Saving: Start Small
I liked what this man had to say, if we all share our seeds (heirloom ones) there is enough food to feed everyone on the planet.

What are you doing to "make a difference" to your impact on the planet? All efforts make a difference. If you want to get started, and find your way to "make a difference", start with something easy...... turn off the lights in rooms you are not occupying. Change your showerhead to an energy/water saving one (they are inexpensive). Get tap inserts to reduce water and electricity consumption (also inexpensive). Put in a gas water heater (R1100-R1800) and get off electricity. Install a flush control in your toilet cistern and use less water. Start growing your own veggies. Collect your rainwater and use it to flush your toilets and water your garden. Collectively, all these small actions, have a huge impact. www.thebiggreendirectory.co.za

GREEN JEWELLERY INFO
Sustainable Jewellery ...?Posted by Daniela on April 27, 2010 at 2:10pm in Light and Breezy
"The most important characteristic of green jewellery today is ethical material sourcing, and all sourcing issues stem from one central issue: extraction.”
There are two ways to go about material sourcing.
1 Primary refining
First time metal extracted from the earth (this can be environmentallydevastating).
2 Secondary refining
Metal is sourced from an already existing product (recycling the metal).
This process uses less resources, chemicals, and energy.
One-fifth of silver used each year, worldwide goes into X-ray film. By buying your silver from a secondary refiner (Virgo Metals Durban - silver is extracted from X-rays) you drastically reduce your carbon footprint as a jeweller and artist.
