West, I agree that packaging is much more of a landfill evil than plastic shopping bags (recognising that they are packaging as well, but with a myriad of different uses). I refuse to use the green bags that are now being promoted, at least not to do my weekly groceries. I get just enough plastic bags from woollies to line my kitchen bin for the week. If I end up with a really big shop, I might use excess bags as packing around parcels to be mailed - saves buying additional plastic packaging. And they are good for tying up dirty nappies to throw out - yes with water restrictions it appears to be more environmentally friendly to throw out 4-5 disposables, than to wash a load of cloth nappies and their covers a day (up to 12 nappies a day). That said, I stuck to clothes nappies until my child was over a year old, but then water restrictions started to bite.

Many years back when I owned a yacht, great conversation starter, but it was wood, 35 years old and wanted a lot of work, however I digress, I bought a solar panel to keep the batteries charged.
Today this keeps a couple of old car batteries up to scratch and they power the 12v toilet fluoro. and a couple of 12v night lights. These three stay on 24/365.

One thing that I haven't seen mentioned is that fluoro. lights if they have the same frequency as a nearby rotating mass will cause that mass to appear to be stationary. This is why in machine shops most machines, particularly lathes and mills must have a working incandesent light as their principal means of illumination.
Perhaps some domestic kitchen appliances?

The SMH of24/25 Feb. has a brilliant (incandesent ?) illustration on p31 by Chris Henning of an Exemption Form pertaining to Fluorescent Lights.

Off Topic. I put in a few extra ? marks to emphasise the spots above where single ones now appear. The 'oracle' made me remove them. Bah!
