Another of my fave pressies...

I got a tree from my friends at work for L - a silver birch, which apparently is symbolic of new birth. I really like the idea of a tree as a gift. Just popped it in a pot in the garden, and it will now grow year by year as L grows up - what could be more green?! See more tree gift ideas at www.tree2mydoor.co.uk

One of my fave pressies I've received for L! And when he wore this yesterday, he did actually stop wailing - for a while at least. If you want your little one to sport one of the Little Green Radical selection, check out www.hug.co.uk

Plenty of energy

For someone with such tiny feet, L's environmental footprint is already pretty big. I'm using the washing machine far more than I thought possible, what with loads of his clothes getting soiled with poo, wee and sick. But at least we use a green electricity supplier - so that reduces his footprint a fair bit.

All this climate change coverage generated by the Stern report makes me think I really must do whatever I can as a mum to make sure L's world is one that isn't ravaged by climate change. Will try and get to the 'I-count' event in London on Saturday - more info at www.foe.co.uk
