The point of this blog is to show that with little changes made in everyday life the state of our environment can improve. I am going to begin with a bit of information about the state of our planet, but will not try and motivate with doom and gloom statistics about how the state of the planet is horrible. And don’t get me wrong, we aren’t exactly in a great place, but I believe it is important to find the things which are possible for each of us to change. By possible I mean things which you will actually do. If you hate recycling and can’t possibly think of doing it, but compositing sounds doable and interesting then forget about recycling and concentrate on making a great compositing pile. Maybe you live in a downtown apartment and recycling and compositing are unlikely for you, but you make an effort to take public transportation and buy local foods. What I am saying is it’s better to make the small changes you know you can make yourself do, rather than to get overwhelmed with big changes you know you’ll never do.
Now do I want you to make the big changes, well of course…but I’d rather you do the small things than nothing at all. It’s easy to get very negative when hearing about all the problems we have to deal with, but it’s so important to think positively. YOU in a few small ways can make a difference. First let’s look at the state of our planet.
It is difficult to summarize the planets environmental problems in a few paragraphs, but I’m going to try to hit on the main points in these next few posts and leave you with some references to find more information. These are being written in no particular order, they are all equally important.
