Is it Just Me?

I want to save our lovely planet just as much as anyone but the saturation of advice and scare mongering in the media has almost turned me off caring..

It's a dangerous thing I believe, the constant going on about global warming, plastic bags, gas guzzling cars is beginning to get on my nerves and I don't want it to because I care as much as anyone about the destruction of our planet but we need to get it into perspective.

A few weeks ago I saw an article in the EDP where it was suggested we choose environmental concerns as a basis for giving things up for lent. Fine, I'm not concerned with lent and think if you're going to have a conscience have it all year round but the suggestion that 'when you go out in your car (if you have to), try not to accelerate or brake very often!' Driving safely goes straight out the window then! What a ridiculous suggestion.

I'll give up driving my car when the government quit using fighter jets to carve up the atmosphere (yeah I know it's supposedly for our protection but are you aware how much pollution they cause and look how overused they've been lately.)

Also while airplanes are constantly mentioned as major destroyers (I feel so good because I haven't flown for two years - halo!), why does no one mention the damage those humungous cruise ships do, polluting the seas everywhere they go and there are thousands of them. I stood next to one a couple of years ago and they are like tower blocks on water - horrific.

Better get off my soap box now and take it to the recycling bin! Feel a bit better now after that little rant.

By the way - it's nearly Mother's Day, check out www.myriadlife.co.uk for ideas - we've got some loverly brooches.
