The Wildlife Gardener tries to shop ethically: free range chicken and pork, organic eggs, milk from the local milkman, Fairtrade sugar and tea, no airfreighted vegetables. So she was particularly delighted when shopping (uncharacteristically) in her local supermarket to find that the plight of the battery noodle has finally improved:

At last, noodles can enjoy the freedom to roam, forage and express natural behaviour in the open air. Their lives, although short, are happy. And my, do they taste all the better for it.

The thoughts and writings of The Virtual Ranger, since 1995 the host and mascot of Naturenet, the UK's most popular independent environmental website; along with interjections from his real-life alter ego, Matthew Chatfield, and others. Featuring not only Naturenet and countryside related stuff, but, as on Naturenet, plenty of other material - more or less at random - that takes The Ranger's fancy. But you can be confident that soon enough he'll be rather sarcastic.
