Eco issues: Sandalwood

Ok, so I must admit that until a couple of weeks ago I really had no idea there was such an issue surrounding some essential oils - perhaps down to my misguided optimism assuming that all holistic supplies are harvested ethically.

But not so!

Sandalwood oil (aka Santalum album, or S.album), in particular, has a HUGE controversy surrounding its use at the moment - the trees are basically under threat of extinction, it's that bad!

Hello March, where did you spring from?!?

Sorry, pardon the pun!  But seriously, where has the time gone?  I remember not so long ago I was getting excited about starting the new term, and now we're getting close to the end - well, close to exams and assignment deadlines anyway!

I would just like to say that right now, I despise Student Finance with a passion!
