Every wondered what the difference between a cage egg and free range means?  Do free range chickens actually get to get to go outside?  Can they eat bugs and grass?

Well dear readers, look no further as this video from http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com/ explains the situation in the US, which is mostly the same here in Australia.

Enlightening, isn’t it.

I wonder if there is a term for my chooks.  I would label them “Veggie patch destroying, go where they like, eat all my weeds and bugs, but well loved backyard chickens”.  Now that is something I would like to see on an egg carton!

I believe that at least cage eggs should be banned, closely followed by free range, as well as the supermarkets that stock them.  What do you think?

Don’t forget that many hundreds of homes and gardens are open for Sustainable House Day today all for free. Homes open from 10 am to 4 pm. Address details can be found at www.sustainablehouseday.com

See you there!

In two hours time I am one of the presenters during the next free Alternative Technology Association Webinar.  I am very excited!

A webinar is a bit like a seminar however it is the online version.  Think of it as a teleconference with pictures.

The subject of this webinar is “Retrofitting Your Home for Energy Efficiency“, and it should be very informative.  Clicking on the link takes you to the ATA site where you can sign up to participate in the live event.  It is still not too late to watch the event

See you there!
