Well, I have read with interest everything my pals have written for Blog Action Day. However, I have been at a loss to do anything interesting or different.
Should I blog about my own green efforts? Nah - I've made my practices known in the comments I have left on other blogs.
Education was covered by SMinchin.
A pictorial was done by AJ.
Lindow despaired, Menhir considered her mercury fillings, somebloke covered the NIMBYs.
Ho hum - what to do? What to do?
Last night as I lay in my bed, I had it all planned out. Every word written and rewritten. I was pleased with the outcome. As I sit here, I had forgotten even what I was going to write.
I suppose I could consider how our environment affects our health. I could wonder what it is that causes those in the north of Scotland to suffer more incidence of MS than those further south. It seems to cluster polar-ly. (Is that a word?).
I could wonder why coeliac disease is more prevalent in the east (or was it the west) cost of Ireland that anywere else in the world.
I can ask if anyone (apart from me) believes that pylons cause childhood cancers, and consider relating the tale of living under one, suffering from the worse case of mental illness I have ever suffered causing me to become a recluse in my own home. And about when I moved, how I have never felt fear walking out my door since.
I can consider the esoteric side of the environment. About how Gaia is a living organism with lines of power running thru her, much like the lines of energy running thru the human body. Human ones are called meridians; Gaia's are called ley lines. Someone once hypothesised to me that the pylons disrupt the lines of power and cause illness - when the leys are cut they become 'black streams' and pollute the energy of the area. The motorways, the housing estates, the quarries, all built in places where they disrupt the power of the planet.
And now I have lost the already rambling train of thought after a telephone call, so I will sit at peace now.
