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.

A mixed bag today - not in my backyard [5]

I have some bad news but mostly good news.

The local businessman, who had offered to print leaflets for me, did not live up to his promise. He said he needed to get more paper. I am going to wait to see whether he delivers. I must confess I now doubt his real intentions. A friend, who had offered to help me distribute them had to go home again.

My earlier post: "Car sharing is about to happen" received an encouraging comment and a website address, which I will follow up. A friend saw the comment before I did, and offered me a similar car-sharing website in Europe. 

I lost about $100 in a busy cafe. I went back after about 30 minutes not expecting to recover it, and it was on the floor under my chair. I said to the two ladies at the next table, "Thanks for looking after my money!" They laughed and said they had not even seen it. I feel blessed and encouraged. 

I met someone, with whom I have never had much contact, and she gave me $50 to help me out with my campaign. So I will print more leaflets anyway.

I visited an old man of 86 in his home,who offered to help me oppose the 'lease purpose change' in my local shopping centre. "Show me where to sign!"

A child care centre manager offered to help me, when I walked in. I have had several emails supporting me. An amazing day really...
