IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE STUPID!

We cannot rely on others to solve the problem, certainly not almost 100% of governments around the world. No it is up to us all individually to do our bit to make a difference. We all need to consume less meat and dairy (the last is difficult for me as I love cheese); travel less, eat more locally produced food; use less plastic; and put pressure on firms to make long lasting stylish products and do away with planned obsolescence (it almost seems that washing machines have a chip which makes them malfunction after 3 or 4 years – hence the ridiculously high insurance premiums).

Rip up the front lawn and do not retarmac the driveway. Your car does not mind a few wild plants to share with. Actually I agree that my front lawn looks a bit …. er…. wild at the moment – but I will get Martin to trim it sometime in next 3 weeks, and I have planted 200 bulbs, and a thousand wild flower seeds so hopefully next spring/summer will be bonanza time for bees and other insects, and then those that feed on them.
