I have tried
to be as honest as possible about the topics I have covered – I think of myself
as Ms Average so if I am confused other people must be.
I have learnt a lot from these daily snippets
– such a lot to learn and what a big area. But will I do anything differently?
This month I was galvanised to join a Love where you Live initiative in my town and here I am in my hi-glow gilet with the tools of the job – litter picking paraphernalia!

On a more trivial note I have also
made a new fabric bag out of a second hand skirt that did not fit me – from
Monsoon and beautifully appliquéd – combined with a calico conference bag in
the interior.

I have found
some other people writing great blogs on environmental topics. I have to
mention the endangered species blogs and especially the issues with palm oil
which I am much more aware of now thanks to Liz Brownlee and I have not even dared to start on a whole raft of issues but at least I have made a start...and thanks everyone for comments. I hope to go back and respond now we are not writing a blog a day!
Yes but -- you've accepted the challenge and have almost completed. Well done with that as well as trying to cause less of an impact on Mother Earth.

Well now, what a coincidence that this is the day I visit your blog. Hello from me, Liz!
ReplyDeleteYou can only do things one step at a time, it's to hard otherwise. Each topic is BIG - and takes thought to try and deal with. Palm oil is one of the big ones because to find things it isn't in takes a little thought. But supermarkets Do take notice of people as we give them their money, we have so much power. We really do.
I LOVe that bag, you are obviously very skilled at appliqué.
Monsoon did the applique - I reused it!!
DeleteThanks for your comment - and what a good note to - almost - end on - yes we do have power. Let's try and use it!
TOO hard. Missed an 'o' off.
ReplyDeleteCame back after reading your profile to say, I am also a fifty something woman in the UK.
