The Beginning

Some of you already know this but I thought I'd share this all of you.

I was watching the Live Earth show the other week and I was evaluating my own environmental impact.I already compost and recycle. I've replaced most of my lights with CFL's and try to buy products with less packaging, etc, etc.I really didn't know what else I could do so I decided to start a blog and Facebook group.

I Can Do Better

Greetings Earth Residents.

My carbon output score was higher than I expected so I decided I have to make a few more changes. I think a big part of my score, besides my vehicle, are my consumables. Everything we buy has some effect on the environment. The process and packaging as well as the item itself, all require resources.
I pledge to buy less and when I do buy, choose items with less packaging.I've also shut down a few phantoms and put in a few more CFL's.I hope everyone takes the carbon test.
I have a couple of links on the group page to check out.Take the test. Post your results.
Make your pledge to do better.

That's it for now and don't forget to flick off.
Barry.
