The great Methane problem- an update 1
On the 19th I wrote my thought to you on Methane and the enviromental impacts from my milk consumption and promised an update.
Since then I have continued to have my tea black, I have had two white (one because I forgot to tell my mother in law that I had changed the way I took my tea and secondly because I was half asleep and just reverted to the old norm!!) I have slashed my cheese intake and nolonger go for the cheese and crackers after the kidds have gone to bed, I'd like to day I had given up snacking but that would be a lie of pinnocio proportions
So given that we were away for a couple of days last week it's not wholly acurate but just through the changes I have made, our milk consumption has gone from 18 pints to no more than 12 aweek and a 600g block of cheese appears to now last two weeks not just one.
So going on my calculations last week, it appears that I have slashed the equivalent of around 20000 miles of driving from my carbon footprint. I feel thats a great start but I am determined to try and reduce this futher I will update again later
On a seperate note I would like to share a photo of my new toy.

It's called the T2 teamaker and it was reduced at John Lewis a few weeks ago. I wanted one of those little balls that you fill with tea and let sit in the cup to brew, The problem is that all the ones had very mixed reviews when I looked on line so despite the fact that its made of plastiic I went for it and I think its fab.
You can just about make two cups but truthfully it's ideal for one larger mug. It's easy to clean and although it does drip a little I have found that if you leave it on the mug for a minute after its run through, the dripping is minimal.
Also I find that I use far less tea because it is can be used twice where a tea bag only once
Win Win all round.
