Ethical Living #1 - Bath Box

This is Anwen in her 'Bath Box' which she loves. It's a small part of our effort to look after the environment. We know its not necessary for Wenie to have a bath everyday but its a key part of her routine as she loves splashing about, its more about play than it is about getting clean - well most days anyway! The only time she has a regular bath now is if she is sharing it with a friend :o)

The move to live ethically has been influenced by realising that God wants us to love the planet just as he wants us to love others (its all interrelated). See Genesis 2.15 Ecotheology, Living Generously, Christian Ecology.

For a while we have recycled, composted, bought fairtrade, used washable nappies and bought most things second hand (this one is more to do with being cheap-skates than living ethically but now our charity shop shopping and second hand purchasing seems even more worthwhile). We hope to make more small steps toward ethical living in the future - we will try to blog about these as we do, so watch this space...
