Well here it is. Blog Action Day 2009. As I sit here in my 6th day of some sort of mild but persistent flu I am still thinking about the environment. This post will likely be short as I'm not feeling well but I have to do something. This is my mantra. Do something. You have to do SOMETHING. Do something.
Amazing that my last post was about joining Transition Town Brixton in South London (UK)as, 10 months later, I find my self a member of Sustainable Streatham (just down the road from Brixton) This might be the biggest step I've taken so far. Feels a bit like coming out of the Environmental closet. I discovered Sustainable Streatham when I was attending an event at Transition Town Brixton. I'm still a member of Transition Town Brixton but I hope that Sustainable Streatham will become a transition town eventually. If it doesn't, not matter. The objectives are the same.
If you're not sure what Transition Towns is you should look into it. It's been described as one of the most important movements of our times and it's just incredible. I first discovered it when I started this blog. It started in Totnes and there were lots in small towns within a year or two of the movement starting, but now it's all over London as well (which I honestly didn't think would be possible). An incredible idea run by inspiring citizens. Check it out and start your own. Sustainable Streatham is likely to be turning into a Transition Town Streatham in the future but that's up to the members.
Our official launch is tomorrow and Saturday at The White Lion Pub in Streatham, South London! Whoo hoo! We're for real.
Final message before I crawl back into bed.
Do something everyone. Do something. The collection of our small actions creates big change.
Thanks for reading.
