Work in Progress

The site will be undergoing changes in the next little while until I find a template that is to my liking. The problem I have with most of the generic ones is that the column for the text is too narrow. But those aren't details that people want to read about...

Although I don't have gossip-worthy news for anyone since the last post, I have been busy reading on renewable energy and the challenges of making that proverbial switch. There were a few great quotes I wanted to add but they will have to wait until tomorrow when I have both the internet and the book at the same time.

In the meantime, I urge you to take 5 minutes of your time to see the size of your footprint:

Ecological Footprint Quiz
One Tonne Challenge
The Green Guide

There are so many more but I will keep adding them as I go. The more I think about it, the more I think the focus of this blog will be two-fold: one part for my personal experiences as a road journal and another part as a communication tool. Canada is the single largest polluting nation in the world. Every Canadian produces about 5 tonnes of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions every year. The average person in Sierra Leone produces about 1 tonne of GHG emissions every year. In other words, we have the biggest feet on the planet and we still think we fit in the shoes of others.
