TGoG Podcast 001 – Introducing The Greening of Gavin

@ By 8 Comments

The Greening of Gavin PodcastNow, some people have told me that I love the sound of my own voice and can talk the leg off a chair.  So to prove otherwise, I kept the first episode to a short five minutes, and it is an introduction to my sustainable living journey.  Editing proved to be a bit time consuming, and I didn’t realise how many ums and errs I actually said until I had to remove most of them with the editing software.

Well, I hope you all enjoy the first episode of The Greening of Gavin Podcast!

I thought I would spice things up around here and start a weekly podcast!  Are you all as excited as I am?  I am not quite sure what format it will take, but here is something I prepared earlier.

It is amazing what you can do with a couple of Sing-Star microphones and a bit of free audio software.

So to get the creative juices flowing, I am after some feedback.  I would like to make this as interactive as possible.  If you have any themes that you would like me to ramble on about then either leave a brief comment, or send me a more detailed email with a list of questions.  I will then get one of my family members to read the questions out, and I will try my best to answer them in each episode.

So what are you waiting for? Send in those questions!

No Place Like Home

@ By 2 Comments

We have been living on Planet Earth as if we were making an overnight stop at a cheap motel.  We throw towels all over the place, pile up take-away food cartons and beer bottles, and don’t worry about the hairs in the sink or lipstick on the mirrors.

But our planet isn’t a temporary stop over, and there’s no cleaner to tidy up in the morning.  It’s true that Nature can clean up almost anything given enough time, but this takes many centuries if not longer.

We will grow old with the problems our parents started – problems that we have been make worse a thousand times over.  Wouldn’t it be nice to think when we have children or grandchildren that they won’t grow up wearing masks to school, that there will still be butterflies fluttering around the flowers in the garden, and abundant natural wilderness to discover? 

To make that happen, we need to realise that the Earth is our home, not a temporary stop in the night!
