Today marks the end of National Recycling Week. From Farmdoc:
Thomas L Friedman, in Hot, Flat, and Crowded, labels events such as National Recycling Week, Walk Against Warming, and Earth Hour, as environmental parties – whereas what is really needed, what is essential and critical and vital, he says, is an environmental revolution.
In our household we are big recyclers, though it's not something we are huge advocates for. We believe more so in reducing our waste output. Living in the country our options are limited for things such as bulk buying and public transport, but we do our best.
Our best is not the best, but we are on our way. As is energy economist Joan Pick who has been on her way – only on foot – since 1973.
Since then she has run or walked approximately 217,929 kilometers - the equivalent of nearly five and a half times round the world.
She said: "Some people criticise me by saying I ought to get out more but that's one thing you can't say about me - I'm out all the time!"
