Who does really care?

A work colleague of mine very recently came to me to tell me of a campaign he had joined on line. This particular campaign is called ‘Who on Earth Cares” and has been up and running for quite some time now. Quite simply, it is a campaign that brings together Australians from all walks of life who are concerned about climate change and want Australia to reduce its greenhouse impacts. By placing yourself on their map of Australia, you become part of a growing community of Australians showing they do care about this important issue.

Who on Earth Cares shows what individuals are doing in their lives to save energy and water. Importantly, it also lets our politicians know we want leadership and real solutions.

As can be seen from the discussions already haven taken place on this blog, many of us are doing wonderful things to make a positive difference. No matter how small these changes may seem, it is important that we share our experiences in doing so, wether positive or negative. Others can then learn from this, make the improvements themselves and pass the benefit even further, so please keep sharing your ideas.

My work colleague, thanks Paul, could proudly admit that he had committed to reduce his greenhouse emissions by over 5 tonnes. Setting ourselves small  achievable goals is a great way of getting results.

Through campaigns such as ‘Who on Earth Cares”, we can all become aware of our own environmental impacts and commit to reducing them. I am interested to know of other forums or websites out there that you may know of that myself and others could benefit from, so please let us know what you are doing. 

Cheers
