And I’m awake because my great, great grandchildren won’t let me sleep.
My great, great grandchildren ask me in dreams what did you do when the planet was plundered? What did you do when the earth was unravelling?
Surely you did something when the seasons started failing as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying?
Did you fill the streets with protest when democracy was stolen?
What did you do
once
you
knew?...

With many thanks to the amazing Mrs.A for her award above. the very generous judges of The UK Christian Web Awards, for the award below and Margaret for hers.
I hope you find this Blog a resource for moral & environmental thoughts from a Christian viewpoint. "A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in".

Ban The (plastic) Bag!
Plastic bags used this year:
(Plastic bag counter from reusablebags.com)
Each year, an estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used and disposed of worldwide. That comes out to over one million per minute. Billions end up as litter each year, in the sea, on the earth and in streams.

Wow, Peter, where do you find this stuff. This is brilliant. Just this week I wondered how we would cope without a normal refridgerator. Going by these past few weeks we could cope in the winter but the summer, well I know our grandparents did but we seem to have lost the skills. Margaret
"where do you find this stuff?" Easy Margaret, I am and I have this on good authority, a nerd.
The zeer pot (or something similar) would work well where the humidity is low since the cooling action comes from evaporation. I read up on evaporative cooling years ago and was fascinated by articles that discussed building coolers using water in Egypt (something like "swamp" coolers but on a larger scale).
Unfortunately, it won't work so well in high humidity areas. So the next question is, what kind of cooling takes place in warm, wet places like the deep southeast US, Amazon basin, Southeast Asia? Or did they do some other sort of food preservation instead of cooling?
I'm becoming something of a food preservation nerd myself and have become fascinated with the myriad different ways people have "put up" food so that they have it later when that food isn't available fresh. And most of the time simplicity wins out.
