Environment as a whole

How do you feel when you hear about the need of protecting our environment? To save energy? The greenhouse effect?

Do you feel that you as a single human can’t do anything that matters? That you don't get the whole picture?

You can do a lot!   Both as one of billions of 'single humans', and in other roles you may have.
Please read on.

Some years ago my interest for the future of our environment was awakened. Earlier it was just one of all the warning reports you hear about, like unhealthy food found in a store or extra many mosquitos one summer.

Since I began to pay more attention to the environmental issues, I found that it’s hard to get the whole picture. A tv program focus on one aspect, a newspaper article on another aspect. Debates focus on the different opinions that some experts have about one area.

That’s why I write this. To try to give me, and you, an overview of this complex area. I don't feel the need to write long texts. I give you some thoughts and believe that you can fill in with your own ones.

Why not begin with the "Free preparation"? It may give you more motivation.

Then "You can do a lot" - and quite easily too.

These pages have a dual purpose. For those living in so called industrialized lifestyle, the purpose is to help you to gradually change this lifestyle. For others, it's a kind of a warning not to fall into a similar industrialized lifestyle with its high consumption of raw materials and energy.

By the way: I haven't heard anyone saying that our way of using the natural resources are good for the environment.
