Our Environmental Footprint
We all need to think about what we do, how much we consume and how big our “environmental footprint” (not just carbon) is.
It was interesting looking at the results of the Live Earth Concerts. These were aimed at raising awareness of the issue but the evidence did not demonstrate this. OK they used carbon credits to offset energy use but I have never seen so much litter left everywhere as by this set of supposedly “environmentally concerned” concert goers.
This ties in a bit with my recent blog about the leader of the Australian Greens Party having a carbon footprint that is almost three times that of the Federal Environment Minister.
What we say and what we do need to match.
