My post for Blog Action Day

So, today being Blog Action Day let me come in at, quite literally, the eleventh hour and say this.

Dear America, China and other generally environmentally damaging bodies and entities.

I recycle my jam jars and milk bottles.
I'm going to try to use less packaging this year.
I've begun crocheting plastic bags into a big reusable bag.
I'm making Christmas gifts instead of buying them.
I donate lots to charity shops to keep stuff out of landfill sites.

But there's still a lot I could be doing and I'm going to keep working at it, reassessing it, getting greener.

Equally I've heard you all make lots of noise about being greener, looking after the environment, doing more. This is very important. I have a little boy, 16 months old, and I'd like very much for there still to be a decent planet for him to live on when he is 60. I'd like animals on it. I'd like food for him to eat. I'd like their not to be wars and starvation and shortages for man and beast just because you allowed your peoples to build enormous power stations and buy 3 big cars per family.

So let's make a pact. You and me. I'll keep recycling my milk bottles. You actually do the big stuff that makes my efforts to recycle milk bottles worthwhile.

Thanks.
