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.

Actions that can be taken at five levels: personal, local, state, national and international.

Two for one

I had an idea for the blog today: to record the ways in which I do two or more things at once, For environmental reasons, instead of doing just one thing. I have created a new 'label' for these 'posts' called "two for one". The 'labels' are shown under every 'post'.

An example:
Today I washed some spinach for tonight's meal under a running tap, and kept the plug in to collect the water for dish washing later. We are very short of water in Australia after a prolonged drought. I use as little water as possible. More details on another day...

I wanted to blog at least once today to keep the blog active. I think it helps keep my blog visible to search engines, and therefore to collect a few more visitors. I have had 97 now. Soon pass the 100 mark!

I have had a quiet day. Took a nap to make up for lost sleep & make sure a slight cold did not get a grip on me. Listened to the radio when I woke up, and discovered someone who sounded very interesting - "Elliot Tober" - a philosopher. I will follow him up and add him to the blog if it seems useful. Keep you posted...

Phoned my daughter and another close friend. Went through several notebooks to gather all my To-Do list into one notebook. Tidied up a bit at home.

Discovered Bruce (not mentioned before) will be moving further away soon. A pity. I was just becoming a closer friend. I will try to stay in contact. He is concerned about world population growth and says it will nullify anything we try to do for the environment, unless it is brought under control. He thinks we need to reduce the world population by 75% !!

A friend sent me a URL (web address) after I asked her to check out this blog. Have not had time to look at it yet.

I hope to add a post tonight to a website I have had permission to update, so that will do for now.

I am still pondering: how much personal stuff should go on the blog? Leave a comment please!
