CABABCATE
Current mood: chipper
Category: Blogging
yup, CABABCATE, is a new movement. Crap At Blogging About Being Crap at the Environment!
just so you all know though... i haven't let my standards slip anywhere else!
previous blogs have mentioned; the farmers market, walking on wednesdays, pledgng to rinse catfood tins and recycle them properly, bottle banking, far trade chocolate, no meat days, buying no plastic, spending no money, not flushing the loo, growing stuff, IDNABing, almost getting arrested, making paper plant pots, going to a disco, not using my car, using other things as means of transporting shopping, funrifices, not using lifts, bricking cisterns, not showering, being bossy about office shopping ethics and generally pootling about in my own special way.
all of these things when CATE started up way back when, (wow.. my first cate blog was february!), were pretty tricky things to get to grips with.. and i have to say that less than a year on i'm pretty damned impressed with how unCATE i've become!
all the above mentioned stuff is now second nature.. with the exception of amost getting arrested. i mentioned before that repetition breeds the norm.. and it does! small changes make a big difference.. and the biggest difference to me is how aware of everything i have become.
i'm the sort of person that walks around with her eyes shut.. dippy by name dippy by nature it seems. but now?? nope.. i look to see where my food is from.. how many miles it had to travel to get to me.. if it's fair trade.. i check to see if packaging is avoidable.. and if it isn't can i recycle it.. or is it biodegradable or reusable?
i have a canvas bag or two in my car at all times.. i don't remember the last time i used a carrier bag, unless it was one that i had screwed up in my bag to reuse that i picked up from my mums house or under the sink at work.
i use my car.. but i have little choice in the matter as in my little rural part of the country.. we don't have much by way of public transport. however.. i walk a lot more, wednesdays to the bus with li'l dips and sometimes more. at work rather than take the car to drop of documents to another office or get stuff to the post office.. i walk and do it in my lunch hour.. because it's better for me.. and i don't feel so bad. sorry Mark, i haven't been keeping a tally of my mileage.. but i'll sit down in the week and figure out a rough estimate for your offsetting. brownies honour!
recycling happens all the time in the house now.. even the cat food tins. which sadly has become less of a chore since the baby cats were rehomed and trollop cat had a pop at a fast moving audi and came off significantly worse.
i failed at growing stuff.. even with Andy and Daves encouragement.. i planted stuff.. it sprouted and it died.. repeatedly. i think sometimes.. you gotta know when to call it a day.
i don't waste water.. i rarely flush at home, although i've found that it upsets people more than enlightens them if not done in the workplace or mothers house or friends etc... but the tap doesn't run when i brush my teeth.. i shower rather than bath.. i strip wash rather than shower.. cisterns have things in them.. i'm currently waiting for my hippos to arrive since subscribing to 'the nag' which is great and if you haven't already done so you must subscribe!
so many little things.. are making such a big difference to my life day to day. and the money saved is fantastic.
since being a member of CATE.. i switch things off more, my thermostat for the heating is down a notch or two and i don't have it on automatic.. i turn it on when i need it.. and it's not that often.. obviously getting more so now, bur still.. the oil i bought at the end of last winter is still going! which means where i would have spent around 300 great british pounds in september.. i still haven't needed to order!
also.. eat no meat.. i do this religiously on a friday.
i'm a Catholic of the lapsed variety, but i'm sorta working on becoming semi practicing again. Fridays were always the day never to eat red meat. fish is acceptable.. but i don't like it.. so Friday is my Veggieday in honor of CATE and Catholicism. makes it easier to uphold now with all the added guilt.
i had a chat with Steve Jameson, aka Sol Bernstein.. he said.. 'you catholics.. you didn't invent guilt.. we jews did. you guys just bought it!'
yes we did.. but only because it was fair trade and the packaging was recyclable and for the love of God don't put it in a f*cking bag!
as always.. comments are welcome but not compulsory!

Plogging away!

Pledge 1 - rinse out catfood tins for recycling
Pledge 2 - no chocolate unless it's fairtrade
shall we begin with the 1st Pledge? it's the beginning and as Julie Andrews said, or sang in fact, it's a very good place to start.
if i said that i was succeeding i would be lying through my teeth, and for those of you that have seen me either in person or photographically will know that's a lot of teeth.
however.. normally, due to the layout of my house and where the cats get fed, the tins go straight into the multi purpose general trash non recyclable or organic waste wheelie bin. to rince the catfood tin means i havee to go to another room.. and then back again after rinsing. a chore like no other. i'm crap.. this only happens approximately 50% of the time! BUT that's more than before so therefore better, right?
i believe that it's all a case of routine.. repetition will make it second nature eventually and it won't be so much of a chore.. it feels very chore like at the moment though as aswell as my two regular cats (one being trollop cat) there are two baby cats. so i have to feed the fluffly little parasites about 5 times a day.. this is a lot of tinms and a lot of rinsing.
i may be recycling more tin.. but i'm wasting water!
BUT. i had a thought.. never a good thing.. (the last one i had scared the shit out of me..) but had one never the less.
with the flood warning s that are dotted about the country this balmy summer we're having thus far..
surely using extra water is a good thing as the reservoirs are overflowing and causing minxy trouble all over.. especially in Hull and Sheffield and Yorkshire in general... so a bit of a question really.. possibly one for Captain Howard to investigate. water is a natural resource.. and we have it in abundance, although i don't wish to be wasteful, it's not as though we're going to run out is it???
i digress though.. on to secondary pledge. Fairtrade chocolate.. or no chocolate.
this week.. i have mostly been eating.. no chocolate!
i have also printed a standard shopping list for office kitchen supplies with preferred brand of sugar, tea, coffee and fruit is only to be bought if fair trade. this is a new policy in the office and fortunately everyone seems to be behind it without me needing to bully them.
Other than my pledges, i have been IDNABing to the point i feel i am almost an expert in this field! i have been not flushing the mellow yellow.. i have been using the bottle bank, (again, repetition breeds the norm.. little things can become routine and not a chore the more you do them).. still having a no meat day.. i'm liking spincah and ricotta in a biiiig way! am still crap at spending no money, the ony way i manage this is when i have none whatso ever! aaaand today after poking a few people on the parish council where it hurts (in the pub) was the first farmers market in my village!
good stuff huh?
sorta.
+
=
Farmers market..
nope..
2 stalls with home made cakes/pies
1 stall with scented candles
1 stall with blends of china tea although the stall holder couldn't tell me how the tea got here or who/where it was grown originally.
1 stall selling expensive wooden furniture (nice.. but expensive)
1 stall selling hand made jewelry
1 stall selling trellis panels.. and
1 stall selling bedding plants.
word on the village grapevine has it there was a lady selling vacuum packed non-descript meat products, but i can't personally vouch for this.
a great idea but it needs work.. i'm hoping to speak to the organisers and suggest they contact the allotment owners and local famers.. i know quite a few of them and didn't see a single one of them present.
the whole point is to make people aware of what produce is available on their doorstep.. the whole point seemed to have been missed.. ok.. clipped in passing.. but even so i was full of great expectations and was sorely disappointed.
i'll keep you posted... maybe we could arrange for a CATE stall to be present in the near future if it takes off?

My Plog.. sometimes a little isn't enough!
Current mood: distressed
Category: Blogging
welcome to my Pledge Blog.. or Plog as it is known!
The Green Feet do was a huge success.. and a young lady did a sterling job testing we CATErs and getting us to pledge to make a change for the better environmentally so.
some of the pledges were great.. switching to renewable energy.. recycling more.. all good.. selling a car even.. fabulous.
so i now feel like i've copped out.. i pledged to rinse out the cat food tins for recycling.. as being a lazy type of cat owner, i would have to walk with empty cat food tin to kitchen.. rinse tin clean of rabbit in gravy.. and then deposit in the dry recycle bin. not really a hardship.. and for someone that recycles.. it's naff.
so i've though a little harder.. whilst still keeping this promise, and i am now into the swing of it, i thought about making a better pledge.
so here it is..
i won't eat or buy chocolate.. unless it's fair trade.. which is pretty hard to find. so as a lazy person i think i'll be just chocolate free.
what the hell does that have to do with global warming?
very little.. but it has a lot to do with global politics and big businesses being irresponsible and the environment isn't just about why it's raining still in July.. it's the whole shebang.. community and trade. well at least that's what i think.
this is the reason for my choice of pedge... i saw this.
get behind fair trade and make sure you're aware that child slave labour is thriving at the request of the Chocolate industry. this needs to change..
so as has always been the case with CATE if lots of people do a small thing by making an insignificant change in the day to day dross life.. then better things can transpire.
this is my pledge.

Green Feet and where i've been.
Current mood: dorky
Category: Blogging
ok.. how to start this... erm..
Forgive me Mark et al for i have sinned.. it has been many weeks since my last Blog.. that sounds about contrite enough.
I am utterly sorry for my absence.. i have been a rather busy dip of late what with running for Macmillan and writing my stand up stuff and hunting for lost kittens n the wilds of Suffolk and mothering and working and have again neglected my duties here.. by duties i mean.. well i don't actually know what i mean.. you know what i mean though.. right?
although i've been away from the flock i have been doing my utmost to stay green.. and as Kermit has stated along with so many others.. it's not bloody easy!
What else am i sorry for.. erm.. i guess being not very forthcoming at the Green Feet do.. which was bloody fantastic, wasn't it!
I was there.. and felt bad because i hadn't made a proper effort in the clothing department.. i had a green dress that has been on the 'maybe' pile of charity shop donations for a while.. i retrieved it for the event as it was almost recycled and i had managed to spend no money accquiring it.. sort of.
my pal Chappers was there with his thrusting lens and dashing good looks.. and when he asked me what happened to the plan of a paper mache bustier and bin liner full skirts.. i said that i thought weaving my dress from grass cuttings was a better plan. this didn't wash and i was glared at disapprovingly.
it was great seeing so many faces i recognised and peeps i chat to and email from here.. i was so in awe of you all i lost the ability to socialise it seemed. i think lack of Alkylol didn't help. i sat next to Howard and Mrs Howard for a good half hour and other than say 'hey.. sure.. sit here!' i was silent! waited in line to take the environmental test after Sian and hardly spoke.. but to be fair.. we could hardly hear anything over the disco by then.
Highlights for me other than the stunning performances of the comedians but especially for me Tom Basden and Andy Zaltzman, were Lily Dumont. gorgeous lady with amazing confidence.. Sians dress.. getting badges.. winning a gold star for being not as CATE as i thought i was.. the mermaid costume.. Miriams eyelashes.. and sitting on the floor at a gig because i haven't done that since i was much younger!
Brilliant night.. well done Miriam and Mark and all involved in putting the evening together.. a definate success.. and again apologies for coming over all a bit shy and pathetic.. next time i promise i shall be more friendly and out going!

Here for the Party

Release date: 11 May, 2004
Tuesday was successful.. no meat was eaten.. and again on thurday. turned out i really like spinach and ricotta flan and chose it over the chicken fillets on the hot food counter when i wasn't even having a veggie day! this was made easier by working so late most of this week that i wasn't getting home until between 9 - 10 pm so missed dinner.
but success.. on Thursday i managed to spend no money!!!! not a bean.. my pal at work treated me to spinach and ricoota flan as she remembered the disappointment when i tried to buy it on wednesday and the guy said. 'No, we haven't got any today' 'why not?' i asked. 'we don't have them everyday' he said. 'but why not?' i asked again. 'we just don't' he shrugged.. i was about to point out that in a store you can't stock things just sometimes.. what about baked beans.. if you can't get away with not filling a shelve full of the tins on a daily basis.. why can you not stock spinach and ricotta flans?
my friend and colleague steered me towards other veggie type foods.. but i was sulking and had chicken.. but i digress.. she bought my lunch as a treat when she saw they had my beloved flans in stock.
she also bought a six pack of red bull (tin cans in cardboard packaging) to share as we were going to be working late.. so no plastic, and no money spent and no meat eaten.. Thursday was a good day!
but plastic was to be avoided for a whole week.. i came to the conclusion that the juice drinks li'l dip has had this week didn't count as i bought them before the challenge started, and i didn't want to start every day feeling a failure, although i believe this is a pretty standard emotion for parents everywhere. carton drinks aside.. this is my week in plastic.
Monday.. 1 bottle Lucozade, recycled.
Tuesday.. plastic lid on milk (this one seems to have gotten everyone.. Pah!) Mr Dips magazine and li'l dips magazine both came in plastic wrappers to hold in all the SPAMMY LEAFLETS! that has made me quite cross.. the magazines themselves are just paper (i'm yet to check if it is recycled paper) but because of the leaflets and adverts for subscriptios and book clubs and disney land and music clubs and all sorts of other bollocks that doesn't interest me or them.. if we wanted to subscribe to a magazine about fishing i'm sure we would have thought about it all by ourselves.. and having a leaflet with a man holding a trout falling into my lap doesn't immedeately cause me to think.. 'Oh.. a magazine on trout fishing.. and look if i subscribe now i get one isue free.. what a fabulous idea.. i must find a pen and do this right now!'
Wednesday.. three carrier bags! ~hangs head in shame~ i know i know.. and that's not all.. tomatos IN A PUNNETT! salad IN A BAG! sandwiches several cartons of the plastic variety... several PLASTIC BOTTLES of water! and pre packaged fruit! i didn't mean to.. i had to.. but i'm trying to work out if it is truly me that is responsible. this i had to do as there was important assessments at work the boss was meant to organise luncheon at the hotel round the corner.. but left it too late so i was sent on a mission.. to feed 7 people on a shoestring budget and make it look impressive and expensive and not to totally deplete the petty cash box. i didn't actually buy any of it... i was also following orders. had i not gone to the supermarket someone else would have and the same stuff would have been bought. bad thing though was i forgot to take the new canvas bags i bought for work with me as everything was so panicked and as i bought quite a lot i couldn't carry it withough bags. the lady did try to give me four but i packed carefully and managed to refuse her generous offer.
Thursday.. TA DAAAH! can you smell that.. that there smell is success!!!!
Friday.. Part two of important assessments.. most of the aforementioned was purchased again, but this time without the carrier bags.. canvas bags were remembered and i managed to buy different sanwiches that came in a cardboard package with only a plastic window. i know it's still plastic, but it's not as much as before.
Saturday.. I didn't buy anything.. so no money spent and no plastic bought!
all in all.. i think i did ok. 2 veggie days.. 2 no money spent days and 2 plastic free days.
and Sunday is a day of rest.. or party in my case.
anyone passing through suffolk.. look for the idiots BBQing in the drizzel.. that's us feel free to stop by and join in.
Buy no plastic? Easier said than done..
Current mood: working
.. unless you're Andy and/or Dave!
today is my veggie day.. i'm not sticking to any day in particular alhthough i think that some sort of routine would help me a little. so far so good. but only because i haven't eaten yet. it may all go to pot when i go to buy my lunch. without even trying i've already failed spend no money day. That aspect i really do need to work on.
but the new part of the challenge.. buy no plastic for a week.
how? it's everywhere. i tried yesterday and almost did well but Lucozade was necessary and it only comes in plastic bottles! I did recycle the bottle though as we have bins for plastics and cans and paper and stuff in my office now.
So buying no plastic. does recyclable plastics count if we recycle. i have so many questions? if i rip the packaging off in the store and leave it there before buying.. technically i have bought no plastic, so does that count?
My daughter has packed lunches. i get her the small cartons of juice, they are cardboard, but have a plasticky coating.. and a straw in it's own wrapper?! i looked.. and no drink carton thing comes without a straw. The kids aren't allowed glass bottles or cans. so i have no alternative.... unless i use a plastic bottle... good idea, it can be reused! but it doesn't.. it gets left on the bus or on a table or in a lesson.
due to this i'm going to fail even if you take out all the other instances where i'm going to fall way short of the mark.
as a parent i have to say that most things that are child related on a consumer level are contaminated by evil plastic in one way or another. I know i said most things.. so why not buy the other things? because there are not enough 'other things' to cater for all the necessary needs.
right, i'm going to lunch, i will be vigilant and report back later in the week.
Veggie for a day... Hmmmm Steak!
Current mood: accomplished
Category: Life
Here we are again.. Challenge set. Eat No meat for a day.
Fine. No problem.
Question:
Why when i chose the day to not eat meat does the new girl in the office, after making enquiries about the best breakfast roll there is, decide to treat all six of us to bacon sandwiches as a gesture of friendship and goodwill?!
so.. first attempt of Veggie day.. failed.. and failed before 9.30am!
in my defence it would have been rude not to.
Question:
why does Mr Dips decide that on attempt 2 of meatlessness to show up at work to take me for lunch?
this sounds nice doesn't it.. and it is, and i am grateful. we go to the local pub/eatery.. we find a table.. the camp but lovely waiter/bar man brings us menus and drinks... i look at the menu.. hmmmm.. veggie selection. leek and broccoli bake... that's all unless i want a cheese sandwich.... i don't want a cheese sandwich.. and to add insult to injury it costs £7.50!!! what the hell is the secret ingredient... Platinum??? it's veg.. what veg costs nearly eight quid?
don't give up.. i look at the specials board for inspiration.. i found it. i had steak.
attempt numero dos.. failed.
I will do this.. determination has set in.
Question:
If you pick the obvious bits of chicken, pork and beef out of singapore rice noodles, does that count?
I did well on this attempt until the very end.. i had a meat free lunch, which was nice.. even though i did have to face the disappointment of not having my scotch egg as a helpful colleague reminded me about the sausage meat shell and thus didn't count as veggie food. my loss their gain. Evening came about and chinese food was ordered before my return home from a hard days graft. I did my best, but think i may have accidentally eaten meat.
and finally.. SUCCESS!!!!!
For lunch yesterday.. i had a wonderful spinach and ricotta flan.. with breaded mushrooms.. i was suprised by how nice it was and now i'm enthused.. no meat day is afoot.
as it was a friday.. after finishing work i join a bunch of other people in my local pub who are also full of the joys of the weekend.. there is much chatter and more cider and time flies.. my quick pint (in two halves) appears to have taken it's usual route to oblivion and several hours later i abandon my poor car in the emptying carpark and get a lift with a kind-hearted sensible non-drinker who knows when to go home and also where i live which was handy as i don't think i was annunciating particularly well.
RESULT.. i end up too late and too trolleyed to realise i've missed dinner!
I would like to say though that i am quite a responsible carnivore. The dip family, much to li'l dips disgust, don't eat at Macdonalds, Burger King and the other less prominent fast food outlets due to the ethics of how far the meatis transported, how the animals are kept and killed and also the quality of the meat that is given to the end user.
When we can we use our local butcher and are lucky enough to have several local butchers in our surrounding villages and towns. Humphreys in Clare are the best though.. we ask so we know what ends up on our table is treated well before, during and after all aspects of the production as it were. we know where it comes from.. even to the point that i can go and look at my roast pork dinner over a fence less than 6 miles away from my front door,k while it's still trotting about with its mates having a high old time.
it's not difficult to be conscious of what you're eating it just takes a bit of thought. this is harder for me than it is for most people as i'm often challenged in the thought department. but if i can do it then there are no excuses for the rest of you.
One thing i noticed though is that there is sod all by way of selection for vegetarians, there's no wonder so many of you guys are pale and thin!
Addendum!
oops.. i forgot about not spending money for a day..
i'm trying to think back through the week to remember if i did this or not by accident. nothing is staring me in the face as an example though.
Failed... although so far today i have spent nothing.. i'll be going to the local pub later to retrieve my car so it's unlikely i'll get away with spending nothing... but i will see if i can buy no drinks and use my womanly charm to blag a blackcurrant and lemonade.

Back with a vengeance.. almost
Current mood: exanimate
Category: Blogging
Well the cogs in the CATE machine have started turning again.. but I do feel I have to apologise for the lack of blogging, action, movement.. well anything really on my part.
Having thrown myself into all things CATE it came to my attention that I wasn't actually doing anything else, but there's nothing like being just a little obsessed is there?
Anyway.. just to pull everything up to date.
I have been IDNABing like a loon. I don't remember the last time I used a carrier bag and am incredibly proud of the dip houshold as we now REMEMBER to take out own bags and Mr Dips has invested in a few heavy duty canvas bags for the big bi monthly shopathon.. also we are buying veg and the like from people locally.. and by that I mean out of a shed in an old boys garden in the village.. so I think that's worth a mention too. Especially as all the things I planted sprouted and then died with the exception of the things I planted that didn't sprout at all. Failed!
I'm letting TED down terribly i think.. although I mention the mooncup on a regular basis to anyone that will listen and I think I may have converted one lady. I will broach the subject with her next time I see her and find out.
I'm not doing bad at saving water.. No baths unless shared now Mr Dips has relented a little. No running the tap unnecessarily. No showering for the sake of showering. No flushing for the sake of flushing. All good stuff.
We now have energy saving lightbulbs throughout where we haven't got dimmer switches... as it appears you can't save the planet and have ambient lighting.
I think that just about covers all bases and i can talk about this challenge.
Spend No Money Day.
I did almost a week of that apart from last Monday when i spent something like £16.00 on medication. I found it incredibly easy to not spend money while in bed with an infection from hell due to sideways wisdom teeth. Rather uneventful I suppose.
I did try to at the weekend but as I'd done nothing but lay about and moan about the agony I was in I had a chore list as long as your arm.
This challenge is a doddle if you don't have to do anything.. not quite so if you can't stay indoors with a good book.
Ah well.. I'm sure I will improve as momentum picks up once more.
CATE CHALLENGES ~ Week 3* Blog 1
Current mood: good
It's all going a bit Pete Tong. Well, it isn't, it just feels like it is because I haven't really had anything to write about much this week. I know this doesn't normally stop me, but procrastination has played a rather large part in my week thus far.
Must be more upbeat!!!!!
Ok the Challenges..
Howard 'Fagin' Otley with 'You've got to Brick a Cistern or Two' ~ Didn't get bricks but did get plastic bottles and filled them with water to put in the Cisterns at home so i feel good about that. Also as it was mentioned that filling them with water was wasteful, but for the greater good.. I filled mine from the toilet bowl. Apres Flushing I hasten to add and I used gloves. I think at the weekend I shall perform a re-enactment for photographic purposes. Maybe.
I haven't been anywhere other than work this week so an attempt was made on the toilets here. There is a problem... this is a new build type thing and the loos are new and eco friendly to start with, but I thought I'd have a go at making them friendlier. This hasn't worked. I almost broke one of them trying. The lid of the cistern won't come off.. and when you really try and wrench it.. it becomes evident that the flush mechanism is attached it to the core of the earth via the Cistern lid somehow.
Carry On Carriers ~ Me and mine are all refusing bags at every opportunity and we have communal carriers at work, so I'm not sure if this counts as passing on. I will however make the effort before the week runs out to actually hand over a carrier bag that i have already used to a stranger in a random act of kindness.
Self Sufficientish and the microwave menu ~ well I made a Risotto type thing for my lunch yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I expected. although cooking rice in a microwave I think takes longer than on a hob so I'm not sure if that was beneficial or not anymore. Ingredients ~ Rice, lardons, mushrooms, spring onions as many people from the office and myspace/msn discussing how many mugs of water equates to a pint or even three quaters of a pint and when should the mushrooms be added.
Foraging with Jools ~ I have to admit.. I haven't foraged, not once unless wandering about the garden looking for nettles again counts. Why are there no nettles? is this a widespread problem, is it the wrong time of the year, or is it just me living in a nettle free Zone!?
Finally the Funrifice ~ this is quite a big one for me. I LOVE COFFEEEEEEEEEE! yup, I really do. I have many cups a day. One of my colleagues said I should cut down because when I run in June, if my training pays off and I win (unlikely) they may test me for drugs and then caffine will show up and I'll be stripped of my title. I looked into this and caffine is listed as a restricted substance in the Olympics! So for two reasons I am giving up 'some' of my coffees per day. for health benefits as it can't be that good for me really.. and also because I alone am responsible for approximately 10-15 boils of the kettle per day to feed my habit. I have watched the spinny round disc thing in the cupboard where the dials and switches are that make the 'leccy work. It trundles round at an average pace until I switch on the kettle.. then it whizzes round so fast there is a danger of it taking off.
Caffine intake limited. 2 coffees before midday. and 2 coffees between noon and 6pm. After this time I feel apple based drinks will be acceptable as yardarms and the sun will have done what is necessary.
This will save about 9 boils of the kettle a day. I'm not sure what that equates to in monetary terms or in the saving of carbon emmissions and the like, but it will surely make a difference.
So that's me up to date. Morale seems low all round so...
CHIN UP PEOPLE!!!!!!! THERE'S A PARTY SOON!!!!!
