It"s been awhile since I have posted on this site... so after a period of almost two years I am back again, Yay Hippy Yay!!!

Okay so today I start by sharing with you information about my new book that's been recently published. The title - "Rosy & Friends learn about Climate Change, Global Warming, Plastic Pollution & The Three R's.  Yes it is a rather long title but every issue mentioned in this title is worth mentioning.  There is an urgency going on and we need to all awaken and stand up together and help make the change.

About the Book - The Issue
Climate change is real and yes, it is affecting us in many ways that we can see and feel - heat waves, droughts, flooding, storms, decrease in crop yields, rising sea level, to list a few... Why are these things happening, and what can we do about it?
The Purpose 
This book will help the reader learn and understand the serious environmental issues we are facing such as global warming.  The reader will also learn about plastic pollution and how it adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans.
And the Solution...
As a solution to help alleviate these global environmental issues, the reader will learn about and how-to-recycle, reduce and reuse.
The Aim
To help children become more aware of the current environmental issues we are facing globally.
The Design
The book was written in a story format rather than a text book style, to make this difficult topic more simple and easy to understand and follow.

Be the change...
Together we can make a difference!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Since we are already so deep into the plastic mess, there some steps we could to take individually, as a family, a community etc. to help deal with this mess…

We should make 
‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’ our daily moto

Recycling is one of the most useful environmental practices.
Besides reducing piles of garbage -- recycling protects habitat and biodiversity, and saves energy, water, and resources such as trees etc. Recycling also cuts global warming pollution from manufacturing, landfilling and incinerating.

By Reducing the amount of stuff we buy in the first place, and Reusing what we can, we also reduce the environmental harm associated with acquiring raw materials and manufacturing

Some tips!
·        Purchase paper plates and paper cups rather than plastic ones for your next function, picnic, party etc.
·        Make it easier for the family by placing bins for recycling around the home and or office.
·        Reuse paper, plastic, glass – containers, bags, tins, boxes etc.
·        There are some food stores, food take awayspharmacies that use paper bags, try to reuse these when you can.
·        And the big one at the moment don’t forget to carry your own bags when you go out shopping - cloth, paper or plastic if you are already sitting with a stack of it…imagine the big smile you’ll have on your face when you tell the cashier, “No” to the plastic bag/packet that is being offered!
 
We have to start weening ourselves off from accepting another plastic bag. 

Let us work together… Let’s please say “No” to plastic bags/packets!
