Going Green(er)

The "National Green Ireland" Exhibition is on this weekend at the RDS.
This morning I attended a very wide-reaching seminar by Mr Claudio Baffioni.
His information on the programme to apply the Kyoto Protocol in the City of Rome
was an inspiration to all Urban Dwellers and Surburbanites.

The Sky's the Limit

Sky Blue

Ever so often I hear radio reports on garbage flying round in
Space.
Looking at the sky on a clear evening, really there is
nothing much to see up there.

Recently, at the Civilex Exhibition in the RDS, Dublin,
I chatted with experts in the field of Environment Management
and Engineering.

We mostly agreed that it would be very easy to become neurotic
about Earth and Environment Affairs.

The Planet has been spinning merrily on its axis for aeons.
We are its custodians to some extent, but there are very
many forces in Nature that are very dimly understood.

Having confidence in our Blue-Green Planet is a very
positive way to live an Environmentally Friendly life.

There will be much discussion in the next few weeks about
the
Lisbon Treaty
and Carbon Issues.

Let's keep our ears to the ground
and our sights on a
Bright Horizon.

Object Relations, Space and Time Travel

Example

Ever so often I look around the house and wonder
how far each object has travelled to this final
destination.

It passes the time nicely.

Example

Posting photos as thumbnails, while inviting viewers to strain a little to enjoy the image, may be one way of making a blog efficient and ecologically friendly.

There are so many ways of cutting down on space and time while blogging that the temptation to spend hours online searching for new tips must be avoided.

This is beginning to sound like a homily from days of yore.

As Mae West said,

"I generally avoid temptation unless I can resist it".

Cattle and Climate Change?

Cows (and, presumably bulls) have been exposed to much criticism in the past few years.
Intensive farming has been viewed as causing carbon emissions.

I have to admit that I always find it easy to forgive these beautiful animals
anything.
