I clicked on 'My Global Impact' from Tearfund and answered the questions, in trepidation, knowing that I could do so much more for the environment. I try to keep the power usage down in my house but fear I could do so much more. I try to keep journeys to a minimum but I do travel to lunch with friends a lot. I have a great love of Diet Coke in small plastic bottles and I regularly indulge myself... but:
- I do compost all the food waste
- I do recycle
- I do buy my food through 'Riverford' so it is local, organic and not processed
- I don't fly
Anyway, I did the questionnaire and it came out as giving me a pat on the back and saying I used lower than my fair share of Carbon. I was amazed and delighted. It gave me hope that if I can do ok with my paltry efforts then maybe we all can and we can reverse global warming. Let's hope and let's keep working at it!
