Green Challenges
Fearing I was on to a loser, I didn't mention this particular challenge before I did it, but having decided to try and stick to green and ethical gifts this Christmas by taking the Handmade Pledge. I'm reporting back on my undercover operation now to say that it's all going surprisingly well.
