.......... with the world 'living beyond it's means ..................

@ Greenbelt a project was started by a group of people there.
It is called 'a year of living generously'
The idea is for them to encourage each other to do things which have a small impact
BUT big when 100 people do it .......... now there is a hundred and there could be more.
I have not had the time to consider and do - but I am sold on the issue -

These are some of the ideas posted on the website - and I have only just got the link.
Have a view and see what you think - consider - maybe we could encourage each other?
see web link at the foot ....... but read these little ideas ........ interesting ....... and they all have links so we can find out more ....
