Taking the right road

Indigo Redfern goes motoring on ethical biodiesel

About twenty years ago my two sisters, quite independently, went travelling and, somehow, never got further than the USA. Personally, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to live anywhere other than England but they seem to have taken root there and I have given up hoping that they will return. Neither are now able to travel. So, if my mother and I wish to see them we have to go there, which we are currently doing every year, while my mother still feels able for long distance flying.  My annual long haul flight, however, doesn’t sit well with my Quaker values. This has motivated me to explore ways to offset the damage that I am doing. So, in 2010, we fitted solar panels and, in 2011, we switched to biodiesel.
