help make me green

Up till now the whole green issue thing has been irritating me. Seems like the cool thing to be, so this put me off for a start. All a bit right on. Anyhow. When I say up till now what I mean is that I decided I should learn about it. I went to a lecture that confused and bored me. I did buy the book of the guy who spoke and the book has captured my interest.
So I decided to find out what my carbon footprint is. It was 3.5 planets. What does that mean? I got that far just to be left confused.
I realise that I have a lot of work to do.
So this blog will be my voyage of discovery and learning. I hope to learn understand and start to make my own difference. I hope anyone reading this might help me with advice and comments on whatever part of the journey I am on. So here it is...help make me green.
