The First Week of Eco Bloke

The very merriest of Christmas wishes

Well, we made it through the first week of The Eco Bloke blog with much success! In just the past seven days we have 454 followers on Twitter and 21 fans on Facebook.

Each and every day we have had visitors from all over the world, but 77% coming from here in the UK, which is who I’m really talking to.

Over the last seven days we have discussed many interesting topics that will allow us all to cut our own personal emissions of dangerous greenhouse gasses. Here is a summery.

Remember FreeCycle this Christmas

Recycle instead of landfill

So, now that it is officially blooming freezing and we are just over a week away from Christmas I thought that I would write about FreeCycle.

The figures show that here in the UK we use as much as 83 square km of gift wrap making our presents look pretty under the tree. To put that into perspective, you could easily wrap the entire island of Guernsey with that.

With all that paper comes all those new presents. In many cases – toys, clothes and other stuff that replace things we had in the past. So as we enjoy our new things, our old stuff gets demoted to the bin.
