Green Around The Landfills

Whose responsibility is it to change the world?

Ours.

And what will be your contribution?

Eat less.
Fart less.
Kill all the cows.

To be fair, I am doing my bit:

• I reduce, repair, re-use and recycle whenever possible.
• I swap my books instead of buying new.
• I Freegle, Realcycle and Freecycle at every opportunity.
• I don’t just throw cans into the brown recycling bin: I take off their labels for the blue recycling bin.
• I turn old wardrobes into cupboard shelves and socks into dusters.
• I buy my clothes in charity shops or accept them gratefully from friends.
• I only boil enough water for my cup of tea.  The rest of them do without because they can’t be bothered making their own.
• I let Stockport Homes re-wire my house, install a condensing boiler, double glazing, insulation and energy-efficient shower.  (How good am I?)
• I use the same old jokes whenever I think I can get away with it.

I don’t think there’s much more I can do; do you?

While proofreading this post, I realised I had read ‘save’ instead of ‘change’. 

Let’s try again:

Whose responsibility is it to change the world?

Ours.

And what will be your contribution?

Get my kids to do it.

They’ll have to take over; I’m exhausted.  I’m so busy saving the planet, I don’t have time to fix it.
