The boy on the beach.
Ponder the story of a little boy on a beach throwing stranded starfish back into the ocean. “Why do you bother?” a man asked him. “There are hundreds of them. You couldn’t possibly save them all”. “No,” the little boy answered, “but I can save this one, and it makes a difference to him.”
I bought this pocket-size book about six months ago, for a pound or two. Wow, I thought, it could be my new “Good for me and for The Planet Earth” hobby. Then this book disappeared in a huge pile of my other books and magazines.
Today I read the story about the boy on the beach somewhere on the internet and remembered my guide to greener life. Ha, I found it in ten minutes time!
What’s good about this book, that there are a lot of simple tips and tricks how to help to protect our planet. Some tiny, some could inspire ideas for a lifestyle choices, some to help save money. And it’s all in a small, easy to read, colourful book with images for just a few pounds.
What I want to say here, that I’m going to try to keep this book on the top of my literature pile, read it time to time and be more environmentally friendly than I’m now.
I even added a new category to keep myself motivated.
