So you think you are green? W.I. members and visitors were given a chance to match themselves against the ultimate in eco living when Lydia Somerville came to talk on the Eco house she has built in Datchworth
(and yes she did use bio diesel to get to the meeting!) Compost toilets, recycled water, all were included in the house, though thatch dwellers with wood burning stoves felt they scored some points on the eco front.
The members also made their feelings known about the new WI magazine. No-one was in favour and the epithet "cheap" was repeated by several.
The next meeting will be at Wallington Vilage Hall on Thursday 15th March when Maya Pieris recently on Radio 4's Food Programme will speak on Recipes of Old Herts. This is an open meeting and will cost £3 for
non-members. Please note that if you go and hear her in Letchworth the night before as part of the North herts Book Festival it will be £6 so why not join us at 8pm?
