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.

Not in my backyard! [18]

In fact I slept for only five hours. 

All the photocopying and signing at the meeting went well. Not so many turned up as I had hoped. 

In the late afternoon I set off to visit five people who were either very old or about to leave town. In the end I got 10 signed letters. Seven people added a few comments of their own. I was touched and saddened to see how some of them struggled to write two or three sentences for themselves. Many people wished me well and thanked me. 

I arrived home well after dark. The chain fell off my bicycle just before I found the last house I was visiting. 

There I was disappointed to discover that someone, who volunteered to copy and distribute more of my flyers, decided to edit the flyer. In the process she introduced an error into my phone number, removed some text and changed some fonts. As it is going out under my name I was not happy, but I have restrained myself from being critical of her.
