VIDEO: Green Gloat / Green Guilt with Duncan Geere (that's me).
Abi over at our sister site Hippyshopper has been running a feature lately where she interviews the inhabitants of Shiny Towers on their ‘green’ness. How planet-friendly they are. Yesterday, it was my turn.

Hippyshopper's top five best energy saving adapters
I think it’s safe to say that the demographic of this blog doesn’t do much to help save the environment, and I include myself in there, believe me.
