So I thought I’d make a blog

The older I’ve become the more I’ve learnt about the world and the sadder it has made me. There is so much beauty on this planet but human beings are treating it like a trash can with little or no regard for other living beings who we share this planet with or anyone who will live here in the future.

Two things we can do to be a better human are 1. Consuming less animal products (meat, dairy, eggs, honey etc.) and 2. Not reproducing. I realise this is almost impossible for the majority of the population but I think if more people were aware then we could mend our ways in time to have a positive impact on the planet.

So that brings me to this blog. I thought if there was more information out there then it would help people to realise and hopefully influence them to make better changes themselves. I decided I would start a daily account of how I am trying to positively contribute to the planet including (but not limited to) my vegan diet, reducing store bought personal items (shampoo, moisturiser, deodorant etc.) and producing less waste by reusing, reducing and recycling as much as possible. I probably come off as a dirty hippy at this point, but let me reassure you that my hygiene is of a good standard and that I do not smell (my friends and family would make sure I knew if I did!). I also want to back up what I am saying with as much scientific data as possible, so I will try to include links that reference journal articles or official bodies of information in all my posts.

So there it is. If you have any desire to keep this planet healthy then stay tuned!
