Live chat with Sheherazade Goldsmith Wednesday June 18th 1-2pm

[carriemumsnet]

You magazine eco columnist and editor of a Slice of Organic Life, Sheherazade Goldsmith, will be joining us for an online chat to share her green tips on Wednesday June 18th from 1-2pm. Sheharazade is an eco mum with three children under ten. She's launching the Peter Rabbit Naturally Better initiative which sees the well-loved Beatrix Potter creation become the first ever licensed character to go green.

Created in 1893, the naughty little rabbit is the oldest licensed children's character in the world and this new initiative reflects the importance that Beatrix Potter placed on the natural world and the environment.

If you can't make it on Weds, you can post your questions in advance here. Otherwise, we'll see you with your organic salads (home grown of course ) on weds lunchtime.

not terribly likely though, is it?

She will be genuine. A genuine waste of space. Seriously, what useful advice (about anything, really) can someone in the most affluent 0.00001% of the population possibly have for the rest of us? The rich genuinely do inhabit a different universe, and it's fatuous to imagine otherwise.

It's quite unifying all this bunting cupcake backlash isn't it?

Ms Goldsmith - how many miles of bunting are needed to stretch from one side of your house to the other?

Or more to the point, MMaG&T, how many miles of bunting do you need to stretch between your two homes in Devon? And do you commute between them in a carbon-free CupcakeMobile? And if so, to whom do the his-and-hers Range Rovers belong?

Bah. Two homes in London and Devon. Am allowing anti Schh-you-know-who sentiment to bugger up my typing.

i'll do wife-swap with her!

marching as before

So do we think this is MNHQ's finest hour? Or what?

probably. although the bull thread comes a close second.

What was the bull thread?
I'm loving the idea of the conversation between MNHQ and Schh-you-know-who's people.

I cannto have a liove sycophantioc chant with anyone that I do not know hopw to pronouce, never mind spell their name.

Next we'll be have Malachi Bogdanov - has he got kids? Get him onnn!

chat not chant - blardy 'ell

Mind you, sycophanic chants sounds like a good business prospect to me for anyone within central london area (I am miles away in sheep land)

Why can't we have Coleen and Wayne on a live chat? Live from honeymoon, with all their tips for the perfect life ahead, eco, ergo, ego or sumthin'. Reckon they'd knock poor shezza into a cocked hat.

sorry mn but THIS IS SHIT.

WHAT

THE

FUCK?

The original sheharazade became famous for telling lots of tall stories, didn't she?

Why can't we have a chat with this writer instead? Seems far more relevant to most of us.....

not going absolutely swimmingly, this one, so far, is it?

Jems, I am sooooo sorry I didn's say "Hi!", my mind was somewhere else, London probs as we are now happily ensconced in Devon.

May I say to all you bitches ladies, I think there is just a slight touch of the green eyed monster amongst you all. If you were as beautiful, rich, blessed and eco friendly as me you would realise that you too had a calling to help/educate the masses by putting one's name to these books.

I look forward to chatting to you all next Wednesday

Toodle-pip

ROFL

i am looking forward to thi s very much...^

i am thinking of questions^

In my view the super-rich are super-selfish by definition.

So it is a bit rich for one of them to advise ordinary folk on essentially unselfish eco-behaviour.

I would possibly be prepared to listen to SG on the subject of getting rich and staying rich but a lesson on morality from her would be odd.

The Super Rich are surrounded by sycophants telling them how clever and wonderful they are, perhaps mumsnet will reveal a set of more honest opinions.

this is hilarious .

I would like to ask the lovely Sheherazade if she would like to compare carbon footprints with me, and then I'll make a decision on whether I need her advice on becoming eco-tastic.

how big a Christmas list should an eco mum maintain^

and how do you prune it down from the seemingly essential 4 figures without offending a lot of people who matter^
