WEBSITE REVIEW: Ask Umbra

Ask Umbra is my favourite RSS feed at the moment. Brought to you by the very good grist magazine, a witty research assistant solves a weekly dilemma of the eco lifestyle. As I write she is offering advice on how to introduce your grandma to your composting toilet. Last week she explained how to drink coffee in an environmentally responsible way.
