Turn Off The Light
When we are asked what we, ourselves, do to protect the environment, it is easy to become embarrassed under questioning and feel that what we are actually doing is nothing much. Compared to the size of the problems we can come to the conclusion that our contribution is either to small to really be worthwhile and quit altogether, or potentially that we are being lazy and should be ashamed of our pitiful contribution. It is usually not true that either of these is the case, but we can often find more to do. Something simple, which is often forgotten by ...
Why Local Sourcing Is Better For The Environment
Depending on how much you are prepared to do, the range of options for greener living can be modest but beneficial or it can be far-ranging and dynamic. A lot also depends on how much you can afford to spend, as some options are expensive and others are difficult to practise if you do not have the means. One way of helping the environment without having to spend too much money is to source as many of your goods locally as you can. A lot of companies have come to the conclusion that sourcing the materials for their products overseas ...
Everything Is Reusable
Most people view recycling as something that involves taking used items to a recycling bank and depositing them to be taken away by a municipal body or a private company to be turned into something else. However, recycling can take place in the home and be beneficial to you without ever having to pass through any other person's hands. It depends on what you are willing to recycle or what you have the capacity to do for yourself. And the truth is that there are almost no limits to what you can do. For example, you can recycle containers originally ...

To Cycle Or To Recycle?
Some years ago the idea of cycling to work, or to anywhere that was more than a matter of minutes away, became about as fashionable as flared corduroy trousers. Arrive at the office with leaves stuck to your face and hair like a bowl of stiff spaghetti? You might as well have suggested that someone travel to work on a pogo stick. However, cycling now...

But Why Shouldn’t I Drive?
One of the most difficult tightropes to walk in life is the one between owning and driving a car and being an environmentalist.

And then there are other people who seem... [Read more of this article]
What is Sustainable Living?
The world has plenty of problems, and often you will find that friends or neighbors are skeptical that you choose the environment as one of your issues.

But skepticism for the sake of it is so pointless. If we all thought “What’s the point?”... [Read more of this article]
It’s Your Planet
Green living is something that attracts enthusiasm and scorn in seemingly equal measures. For every person who embraces the idea as something that we all should do, there are at least a few who will view it as a “scam” and a way of getting money out of people by tripping their guilt reflex. For someone who is keen to avoid making anyone angry, it... [Read more of this article]
