Willing partners
Friday, 29 August 2008Today I asked a friend to do a favour for me. We've got a lovely little coffee-shop on the corner that he visits each day, so I asked him to see if they'd mind if I brought my own mug in to them.

A favour and pledge foiled
Monday, 25 August 2008I have a confession to make: I used a takeaway coffee cup this week. I had an important deadline at work keeping me super-busy, so my boss very kindly bought me a latte from the shop on the corner. I happily drank it up and didn't give the cup a second thought until I had to throw it in the bin. Then I realised I'd slipped on my challenge :(

Thursday, 14 August 2008This week I started the G Challenge: this means I'm living without take-away coffee cups for a month. So far I've been doing ok, since I brought in a coffee mug from home a few weeks ago, along with a jar of organic, fair-trade instant coffee.
