Let them eat crepes
More ponderings post food summit.
Anyway...
Seed sales soar as the UK begins to go back to the land in its own little way. A fine pie can be made from scraps of encouragement like this, so lets throw that into the pot with world environment day and compost awareness week.

Saddest news of the day is that- without global outrage or mournful fanfare- the island of Kiribati has given up in the face of the rising tide and is planning for evacuation. This is in stark contrast to the Virgin Island of Beef (oh yes) that plans ecological devastation in the name of luxury accomodation, big yacht marinas, and golf for the world's uber-wealthy. Well, they work SOOOO hard.

Oh, and the US blackmails Iraq into perpetual illegal serfdom to BigOil. Nothing new there.

Marc, is there any chance you could add tags to help me search for strips on a particular theme? I was looking for something about recycling today but I gave up. It would be a massive task to go back through and tag ever strip you've ever drawn. But even if you just started adding them to the new strips, eventually it would become a very helpful feature.
I will gladly do that, Mel. My immediate problem is comprehensive ignorance- how do I go about doing it? Just imagine I'm an idiot....
