Happy World Environment Day. Not sure exactly what this means or how I can really make a difference. So I thought I'd boot up the computer, which is plugged in to four other things, thile the TV is blarring in two rooms and my three mobile phones are charging at the closest free power point.
The washing machine is spinning away and hubby has gone grocery shopping likely to come home with a dozen or so plastic bags. A typical Saturday morning. So I've had the quickest shower ever in order to do my bit for the environment today - or maybe because my two year old was screaming from the other room and I had to high tail it out to save him from falling out of his boat (the washing basket). Surely it's OK though because the utility companies are doing their bit, they've put up all their cost in hope to get us to be more concious. And I'm sure the extra profit they are making is going back in to researching better ways to make everything more sustainable.
I Googled World Environment Day and found lots of useful information, the site http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au/melbourne_details.php?id=11609 was pretty good start, it told me to celebrate, they're firing up the barbie, and inviting everyone to have a picnic. I want to solar panel my roof, recycle my water, live off the land and get rid of my car, but it's very expensive and pretty hard to do.
Seriously what are you doing to help the environment? I clearly need some practical tips?
