Since joining Wikaniko in April 2009, I have made changes to the way we live as a family - at least with regard to how we use and abuse our planet.
We now only use fully degradable plastic bags - they will be gone in a matter of months - I'm happy and confident that I'm not adding to the terrible film of plastic slowly covering the Earth.
We're not putting harmful chemicals onto our skins -- we are using safe shampoos, safe soaps and save skin products.
Even our dogs are benefitting from safe flea treatments!
This year, I'm hoping to continue, if not improve on this -certainly i need to make more of an effort to recycle - I don't necessarily mean household paper and glass as they can go into the recyclingf bin --but finding alternative uses for things that have broken or not longer fit for purpose.
One thing I AM pleased about is that there are some wonderful people joining me on this journey. In my part of the Wikaniko Warriors team there are some fantastic people who have so much to share - and I'm looking forward to meeting more of them and learning from them in 2011
