Sorry I couldnt make it over but I was with you in spirit! Re Addiction Councelling- Albert de la Chance wrote a book I think in the 1980s called "GreenSpirit" which suggested just this- that we set up local groups which use the 12-step process to deal with their addiction to consumerism. I think that this will be a very important part of our work because clearly consumerism is about filling emotional/spiritual holes that are not met by our culture. "Energy Junkies Anonymous" might be appropriate also: "My name is Bill. I have a lifestyle that consumes about 500kilowatts each day. HELP!!!" Best wishes for the mid-winter feasting season Graham Well done guys, sounds like you had a great day with lots of good ideas. Sorry I couldnt make it over but I was with you in spirit!
