Small steps in the Big City

A little while ago, I decided to start making some changes in my life. There's a bunch of reasons why - some of them you might understand, some probably don't make any sense at all. Essentially, I just wanted to reduce the impact of my life on the environment. To me, that means this planet, but also this country (the UK) and this city (London).  In terms of timing, it made a lot of sense - after I left my last job, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do and why. I was also buying a new flat with my girlfriend.

So this blog is really about what I've done to make changes in my life - and what hasn't changed.  I'm not an environmental advocate, but just a guy wanting to align his lifestyle with his beliefs and principles.  And I wanted to take action now.  Forget about the theories and the arguments, I just wanted to make the changes that mattered to me, and make them quickly.
