Only when the last tree has died

Came across this Cree saying recently having seen it many years ago and it still stopped me in my tracks:

Incredibly profound.

My Spring 08 favourites: Kitchen

To continue the Spring 08 favourites series here are my top three picks for the kitchen:

Fairtrade certified cotton tea towels from Sarah Smith
Kitchen caddies for organic waste to collect your compostables in

The tea towels make me smile every time I see them :)
