"None can be an impartial or wise observer of human life but from the vantage ground of what we should call voluntary poverty."
Henry David Thoreau

What can I do to make a difference?
The aim of this website
Is to explore what an individual can do to make a difference. I am absolutely convinced that Global Warming is in progress and that we must do all in our power to reverse the trend. Contact me by commenting on my posts.
Pages
Actions that can be taken at five levels: personal, local, state, national and international.

I have just had a phone call from someone wanting me to buy a water cooler. Fill it with water and plug it into the power to purify it. I replied I was happy with water straight from the tap. The simpler option and greener.
Yes, and I put the tap water into a bottle and into the fridge. Is that cool?
