Eco-geek

*points big green arrow, made from recycled materials, framed by energy saving bulbs, at self* I've only realised recently how much of an eco-geek I've become. Although, to be honest, I always was one.

I'll say now, I'm not being all eco-friendly because of global warming - that reason for doing it has almost become a fashion statement now, and frankly annoys me. I just love nature, and don't want it to be ruined. I really should have been a pagan...but I haven't the nerve.

I've now managed to train my family to turn off lights when they aren't in rooms (although they still forget sometimes. My brother and his friend left my TV and Guitar Hero on in my room tonight ¬¬). I turn off the TV at the plug too cos for some reason our TV set won't turn off fully. Plus I'm a little paranoid about TVs on standby (i'll probably post a blog about that sometime. Maybe the next one...). I recycle, and buy recycled stuff when I can, cos I like trees. They're fun to climb...and sit in. And they give us oxygen, even if only a little. And animals live in them. And they look cool. Yeah I could talk about trees for a while.....

Why I'm writing this I'm not entirely sure. I'm that tired I'm going cross-eyed. I'll look back through this in the morning and go and have a Tamaki moment in the corner...

I think I'm just sick of the whole "Going Green" thing being a bit of a fashion statement at the moment. It's something you should WANT to do, not do because "everyone else is doing it". Nature is a beautiful thing and it should be preserved.

Go watch Sacred Planet, the nature documentary by Disney, narrated by Robert Redford. It's only 45 minutes long, but it's absolutely magical and it really opens your eyes...

Night night *splat*
