 TIPS

Switch off when you 're not in...
Get into the habit of unplugging as many appliances as possible, to save electricity, before you leave.

Even if you switch them off, appliances can still use up energy if they're still plugged in.

Green Events

Would you like to know more about environmental events in your area including green fairs, rallies, talks, seminars, training courses and workshops? Or perhaps you want to publicise details of an event you're involved in? Go to Friends of the Earth and mail us to let us know what you're up to.

Vegan Veg Out Recipe

I recently signed up to Vegetarian Times newsletter; it seems that somewhere along the line I also elected to receive recipes, not that I'm complaining, its quite inspirational to receive delicious suggestions in my mailbox.


Our recipe of the month: Tabbouleh Primavera

Serves 8

A wonderful recipe for summertime.

1 head Boston lettuce, leaves separated
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 cup bulgur wheat
1 lb. thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced (1 cup)
5 Tbs. olive oil
4 oz. crunchy sprouts, mixed bean sprouts or radish sprouts
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, shredded (1 cup)
2 medium tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch dice (1 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 to 4 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
2 Tbs. chopped fresh mint (optional). Add 1 tsp. salt
  1. In medium saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil over high heat. Stir in bulgur. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain in fine-meshed sieve and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in medium skillet, combine asparagus and 1/2 cup water. Cover and simmer over high heat for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Return asparagus to skillet with bell pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook over high heat until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  3. In large bowl, combine asparagus mixture, cooled bulgur and remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add remaining ingredients except lettuce and toss well. Serve over lettuce leaves.
Enjoy!

Answer: Only one, but where do they get their protein?
