I'm downing tools on Hippyshopper until 3rd January 2006, when business will commence as usual. Our guest editor, Elana is going to take care of the site next week, so make sure you keep reading. Thank you, thank you and thank you to all those who've helped support me and Hippyshopper in its first 9 months.
In the interim, cast your eyes over some of this year's highlights:
- Dominic Bates' superb Organic Beers of the Week series
- Hippy Shopper's Green Gadget of the Year: the Voltaic solar backpack
- Dave Reay's rousing climate change book
- Arbor's eco-minded snowboard
- Fairtrade after-dinner mint chocs, organic choc-covered seeds, a new Green & Blacks rival
- Richard Taylor's beautiful recycled hat stands
- Wind-up torches, wind-up radios and wind-up remote controls
- How to: recycle your mobile, get rid of unused paint, drive and save money
