94.5% of the country's electricity from renewables. That sounds like a good news story, so why haven't all countries done that? The star pupil is Uruguay, a country of less than 5 million people, but not known for being very rich in resources (well, not as far as I know anyway). They have decreased energy prices over the last 10 years as the renewable kit has been installed without having to add supplements to local bills like out own government have decided to do. They don't even have any nuclear plants in the mix. Let's hope our venerable leaders take notes and get some tricks and tips at the ongoing climate talks in Paris.
Ironing is so last year, according to an article in The Guardian. I'm pleased to hear this, because no-one in my house enjoys that job, least of all me. Evidently I have to feel comfortable in that 'crumpled look' before I ditch the ironing board completely. I wonder if that would have looked good at yesterday's funeral I attended.
