If we see someone litter, there’s a chance we might curse at them in a fit of rage. We secretly judge the lady in front of us at the shop who’s choosing to use a plastic bag. And we judge ourselves when we look at the pile of apple products charging over there in the kitchen. So, to continue our constant criticism of the ne’er-do-well’s (ourselves included) who sometimes aren’t as green as they should be, let’s add some extra-special green resolutions to our list.

Cob Ovens are a relatively inexpensive way to bake, with all the benefits of wood-fire such as a hot hearth.
Materials are raw and often sourced locally from the land.
This Cob Oven was built leading up to the 2008 Forest Festival held in Jackeys Marsh, Tasmania.
The oven is a design from Build your own Earth Oven by Kuko Denzer. Many thanks to Jenny for the photos...
