If I have seemed a bit quiet of late it is because I have been kept very busy creating my new blog! Let me know if you like it : ) also keeping me busy are the mountains of inspiring entries for my Live Earth Gibson.
In the run up to announcing a final winner – as a little teaser – I thought I would share with you just some of the entries which have made me smile…more soon…
Pee Outdoors – that is what Adam in Pheonix AZ wants us to do, so committed to the cause he even has his own range of tees! In his own words “I watch thousands of gallons of water literally go down the toilet, and I have decided there is a better way: Pee Outdoors! I save on the water bill, and my dog does it, so it gives us a few more minutes of “quality time” together each day, as well. The plants love it, too!” Brilliant.
On a similar bathroom note – I have had a number of entries concerning shower water waste. Steph in CA keeps a bucket in her shower so that waste water collected can be used to water her plants. She said; “this is just a routine I have”. I like this because if, like Steph, more of us can just get into a simple ‘routine’ no matter how small it will never seem like a chore to our bit!
My other favorite shower entry is from Rob: I saw my girlfriends green team shirt that said “save water, shower with me.” So i did. I’m with you on that one ; )
Out of the many stories I received ‘The tales of the Super Sisters’ sent by Michael in Denmark is a favorite so far. It is about the life of his two daughters – an unlikely duo of real-life environmentally conscious super heroes! Nice.
Lucas Nguan from Singapore really made me think about how bad I am. I draw and write a lot, sometimes I put just one note on a page or a single doodle. I am always being unnecessarily precious about my work. Lucas, as shown in this incredible picture uses every last millimeter of space. Lesson learnt for me. Look out for more of my favorite entries soon xx
