I have been very disappointed with the response - we have had a lot of visitors over 160 in the last week but only 5 comments - and only 2 people have taken the sign to post on their blog.
Don't forget you can still join us even if you don't have a blog or web page, just tell us in your comments and we will add your name to our list so everyone knows you are helping to save the planet.
Please, have a look at the things you are doing around the home at the moment and you may find that you already do some things that will help in the climate change fight. Those things count!!
If you think you cannot make 5 changes immediately how about making one or two and make a promise to make more in the next 6 months. Anything, any changes you make, no matter how small are important. We need to spread the word.
Please post our sign on your blog sidebar.
Please link to this blogsite.
Please let us know you are making the effort to change!
Please make the effort - if we can't make changes at this level how on earth are we going to make bigger changes. How can we expect government to make changes if we won't make little ones.
Don't be apathetic - try and make a couple of changes and try and get others involved.
If you need the html code for the picture and link please email me and I will send it to you. You can then post it to your side bar easily. If you use Blogger it is as easy as clicking on Customise from your blogpage or Layout on your Dashboard then click on Add a Page Element, then add HTML/Java script add the code and viola there it is! Other blog sites use a similar method so it is simple and easy.
My email address is sooziii@optusnet.com.au and write I need the code for a subject heading.

An Inconvenient Truth
Last night I watch Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.
I have always been a 'greenie' - I can remember when I was about 12 my father, who had spent his life on the sea as a fisherman, was offered a post on a whaler. It would mean we would have to live on Norfolk Island (I think that was the island), anyway I can remember carrying on a treat, telling my parents I would never speak with them again. My parents didn't go, my father refused the job but it had nothing to do with my tantrums more an economic decision.
Anyway, I was a greenie way back then and still am.
I have had solar hot water for about 25 years, put in a water tank 2 years ago, planted trees on my tiny suburban block, switch to power saving light bulbs and water devices, turn off my computer, printer, etc when I am not using them - I don't keep anything on standby if I can help it - I switch off, and, hopefully, by the end of the year I will have solar electricity on my roof to decrease the amount of electricity I use from suppliers.
Watching the movie last night made me wonder how many of us really try and do our part or do we leave it up to governments and big business to sort out. A lot of people and governments have an 'ostrich' attitude to climate change but what will that mean to our grandchildren?
How about everyone who reads this blog entry does 5 things to help reduce their impact on climate change?Then how about they get five friends to do the same - then get each of those five friends to get five friends and so on. Let's see how many people we can get to make just five changes.
So go on tag 5 people to join us!
Put the sign on your blog site to remind people to make changes - I have made a simple one to use, just right click and save it to post on your own blog.
Please could you link back to this post and blogsite to help explain it.
Let's see if we can start our own virtual march of supporters!
When you leave a comment and agree to join and add the sign to your site along with your 5 changes I will add your blogsite to our link list.
PS
I have been disappointed by the amount of people who have dropped in but not left a comment let alone joined in. Only 3 people have left comments so far. Please, I am not asking you to make drastic changes to your life (although you can if you want) just a few changes that will benefit the planet and you. So come, don't drop in and then leave - take a copy of the sign, post a comment and make some changes. Let's try and get this rolling around the world!
