What difference do I want to make?

I think I’ve hinted at this or pretty well covered it in the previous posts, and in my previous attempt at setting up my own blog.

I want to leave the world a greener, healthier and more bio-diverse place, within my lifetime. I live on a warm, dry and dusty island where we ‘rely’ on bottled water, significant amounts of imported goods and food, and export or bury most of our rubbish. I want to see an end to the wasteful use of plastic, irresponsible use and production of throw-away items, 100% recycling and reuse, and the subsequent end of landfill, littering and pollution. I want to see large-scale conversion to non-fossil fuel energy and an increase in small-scale, bio-diverse, plant-based, organic agriculture, with water collection and re-use systems.

I want to hear more people talking about how to make the world a better place and not just about how to make the next rental payment, how to cut costs or make more money. I want to raise my kids in a healthy, stimulating, optimistic environment, where the experience is the goal, and caring for each other and the planet are the priorities. And I want to show people that it’s possible to do all this, whilst improving your life and enjoying yourself even more.
