I love listening to Audiobooks in my car...and here's a discussion about it, while driving!

If you want to get Audiobooks for yourself, I suggest eBay, Russell Books in Victoria, download from iTunes, audiobooks.com, or let me know - I might have one or two I can lend you!

A Greener Sector: Paper"Less" 

   

We have switched to 100% recycled paper!


In an effort to lessen our impact on the environment even more,
we have switched from eco-friendly printer paper (made out of trees from well-managed forests under strict environmental, social and economic standards) because 100% recycled paper reduces water pollution, air pollution, energy consumption, and landfill waste.

   

This green initiative was brought to you by Veronica Rutherford.
