Human bouncing ball…

Nervous - excited - apprenhensive - optimistic - stressed - energetic - exhausted. Emotions everywhere after the last few days. Trying to keep the day job going while doing this campaign has been manic but we’re on the final stretch now…

More and more I am beginning to feel a persistent sense of excitement… I’m looking forward to the next two weeks. To everything. Late nights working on the campaign, progressing our application as a UK charity, thinking about public relations schemes / activities and most importantly working to make sure that a gazillion individual supporters visit this website and support this campaign. Really, the more I think about this, the more I know the Earthfireice campaign can make a big difference. If each supporter contributed a 1 tonne pledge to decrease their carbon then a million supporters would bring us a million tons of CO2. It feels like an ambitious goal, but perhaps we should be even more ambitious. After all a 1 tonne saving is entirely achievable…. to save 500kg of CO2 in a year a recent local newspaper suggested that each person could recyle a quarter of their household waste or walk (instead of drive) for every journey less than 3 miles. And those are just two small measures. There are others.
