Earth Day Launch

"Going green" is often regarded as a burden, a series of sacrifices, that cut your quality of life more than they cut your carbon footprint. It doesn't have to be that way! This blog is meant as an example of positive behaviours that not only sit lighter on the earth, but make everyday life more enjoyable and rewarding.

I plan to undertake at least these projects this year:

1. Zero-waste Christmas
  in which I eliminate packaging, single-use decoration, and unwanted gifts from our Christmas tradition.
2. Small Craft Mornings
  in which I teach people how to make useful and awesome items out of waste materials.
3. Biscuit Offenders
  in which I rate popular biscuits on the proportion and recyclability of their packaging.
4. Tidy City
  in which I write an iPhone App to allow community monitoring of the condition of public property.
5. Frequent Flyers
  in which I sponsor a prize for turning discarded promotional flyers into art.

Wish me luck!
