This is my dream: To live as my forefathers once did - in harmony with the land that sustains us. A project to investigate and innovate the creation of a low impact home with methods of living in a form of permaculture designed to sustain my family and improve biodiversity. To leave the land richer than before and in doing so enable others to do so.

Effective Positive Personal Environmental Impact

Posted 22/09/08 by Matt B in the Unspecified category

When we talk of effective positive personal environmental impact we are talking about the change and improvement to state of our environment that we are able to make.

Can we indeed ever do enough?

It is not easy to have a truly effective positive personal environmental impact. We could easily allow ourselves to think that by recycling the newspaper, using energy saving light bulbs and taking a shower rather than a bath we can save the planet. This is simply not true and as an assumption it could prove as dangerous as any other of the threats the environment faces.

I have recently received some bad news. I do not know how well I will be able to maintain this or any other of my blogs for the next few months. I apologise now.

I was going to discuss these two news items but I no longer have the strength to cope.

Earthworms to aid soil clean-up and Compact and bijou - the slums of tomorrow?

Please feel free to talk among yourselves. The comments are still open.
