Feeling Chillin'
Hearing Michael Buble "Lost"
My Eco-Warrior Daughter
Hello Everyone.
I have had a very relaxing weekend. Woke up this morning to see heavy snow falling! It has almost all gone now. The sun Is streaming through the window and is most welcome. I stopped by a journal belonging to Michael and left a comment about my "wee treasure" writing a poem for a school project, in the form of a journalist writing in a paper, to encourage people to act upon Global Warming. I was pleased that she was more than happy to share this with everyone. Her words: "We need to take action now and help out as much as we can."
I have to admit that she drives me daft switching off lights and nagging at both me and her dad to change our ways. I sometimes get plunged Into darkness then hear the voice saying "You don't need the light and the lamp on at the same time"! lol. I put my hand up, I was one of the many people who turned a blind eye and thought that one person can't change what's happened, but I know better now. We Can make a difference and, thanks to my clever girl for being so determined and strong willed, I do sit up and take notice. We started recycling a while back and when I'm shopping, I look out for recycled items. It makes me feel pleased to be a small part In helping to halt the damage. I am so proud and privilledged to now leave you with this lovely poem.
Take Care, Back Soon. xx
It's not fake, It's real
what's happening around us,
so deep that we can't feel.
but that's not It,
It gets worse.
Not only will earth die,
but who lives on earth?
You and I.
But what If we done something,
like save ourselves?
but that's the point,
No-one can be bothered.
so I say let's make them be bothered,
and make them understand.
then earth can finally be,
best friends with man.

I'm one of those who turns lights off in an empty room, even at WORK! Or remind people that they just threw out a recycable container (hey, I had to work to get those containers IN here).
Good for your daughter! Every bit saved is, well, a bit not wasted. Besides, it saves money, too, eh? -

Thanks for visiting my journal and your encouragement toward recovery from my recent back surgery. I am doing fine after a rough start this morning probably because of the weather change to cold and rainey/snow(predicted) here in S. Illinois. I can only lift up to 8 lbs. while putting wood in my woodburner and must bend from the hips and not the waist. One tip about global warming which I am very interested in seeing progress made, is that during the cold months' when heat is being added, shutting off lights is not as necessary since they are an additional form of heat. I have replaced my lightbulbs with 13 to 23 watt replacement flourescent type. The contant turning them on and off shorten's the life span. They also contain mercury which must be addressed when disposing of them. LED lights are more efficient and will be the next safer alternative. Computer's are responsible for a large increase in power consumption also and many people leave their's on constantly. Some have told me the vendor or their computer even recommended it. We need to concentrate on the 'big picture' when it comes to global warming. mark
