Happy New Year everyone!
Let's see if we can reduce our Carbon Footprint a bit in 2018.
A little less red meat, a little less dairy.
Ride the bicycle on the weekly Fish'n'Chip run.
Use public transport a bit more.
Accelerate gently; Downsize the car; Sell it all together! Brake on the straight before it's too late. (That's just good driving.)
Recycle all plastics. (I know; polystyrene is hard to recycle ethically. Can we do something about that?)
Make less garbage.
Compost your kitchen waste.
Grow some veggies and fruit. (Potatoes, beans, corn, silverbeet, beetroot, spring onions, herbs, strawberries, feijoa, lemons, and flowers!)
Yes, it matters. When the 100th monkey does it, they will all do it.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.
