I am so excited!
Firstly a video message from yours truly. You need to watch this so that the rest of the post makes sense!
So here are the questions:
- What documentary am I referring to in the video?
- What are the names of my current 8 chickens?
- When did I first write about Peak Oil?
- Name the very first cheese I ever made?
- What is the name of the disease that you have if caught in the consumer culture?
- And finally, Who did I interview in Podcast #20?
I realise that it is a big list of questions, but I wanted to make this a bit like a treasure hunt, and a bit of fun. Once again the prize is a book titled “The Armchair Environmentalist – 3 minute-a-day action plan to save the world”, by Karen Christensen, which I will post anywhere in the world. Just be the first person to answer all of the questions correctly and post them in a comment! I will give you 2 days in which to guess.
Good luck in the treasure hunt, and as I mentioned, here is to the next 1000 posts!
Warmly and yours in greening,
Gavin

BZ Gavin, 1000 posts is a wonderful milestone to have achieved, and a LOT of writing, podcasting, videoing, etc.
1. Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”
2. Bantam-Poppy, boss hen – Bunty, then Edwina, Esther, Babs, Gracie, Jane Austin and Daisy. There were also Pippa, the other little banty who died, Jennifer, your favourite who died recently, and Mr Darcy who wasn’t welcome in the neighbourhood.
3. 6 March 2008 was the first time you mentioned peak oil.
4. Feta cheese
5. Affluenza
6. Darren Collins of green-chance.com
It was interesting visiting the early posts and seeing how far you and your family have come, and what big changes have come about on your little green homestead.
oh and Polly, one of the original hens, who died a couple of years ago. I’ve lost track now of how many hens that is in total…all of mine are called Henny Penny – all 50 of them, it’s just easier 🙂
