I have just found out via a comment (thanks Lis), that my sneaky son Adam has nominated me for a News.com.au 2008 Green Award. It feels like a blog fest today, with Kim writing her first post and with us finally getting some more of the chook house finished, this award comes along. If you are new to my blog, welcome along and have a browse. If you would like to read about our sustainable journey so far, have a look at the very first the post “Why I choose to lead a sustainable lifestyle” and work your way forward by using the “Newer Post” link at the bottom of each article.
Just being nominated by my own son has made the sustainable living journey very, very, worthwhile, because it is the kids who are my main motivation. Our family has changed our lifestyle so that future generations may benefit. I don’t like to blow my own trumpet, but it is a great feeling. I have no idea what category I was nominated for, but thanks Adam, you are a champ.
You can see the article here at “Ordinary heroes top nominations”. As I have said before, if you build it, they will come.
Here is my quote for the day which I think describes my elation;
“Whenever we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe”. – John Muir.
Gavin, you deserve to be nominated and who better to do the nominating than one of your own.
Look out Captain Planet theres a new Super hero in town..and this one isnt afraid to wear green undies on the outside.
Congratulations on the nomination, all the best
Phil
