Happy 1st Anniversary!

One year ago today I wrote my first post for this blog. Promoting reducing and reusing while demoting recycling as a last resort when it comes to waste reduction, my heart was in the right place but my mouth was, well, a little eager. Years' worth of frustration about how little everyone around me was doing to clean up the planet was expressed with critical words when I first began to use this blog as an outlet. 150 posts later, I still get outraged, but I'd like to think my focus is on educating, providing options, and inspiring action - not just ranting! To those of you who have been here from the start: thank you for being interested in my opinion for a whole year. To those of you who are relatively new to this blog: thank you for stopping by, I hope you find my posts informative. If any of you wish to leave feedback privately rather than in the comments, e-mail me at andreastwocents(at)gmail.com.

Without further ado... let's celebrate with cake! Also, happy Canada Day and Independence Day!

  8. Thanks Lynn. I'm sure we'll have a chance to meet up at some point! I love to travel, and I've always wanted to drive along the West Coast... if I can offset the carbon emissions from flying, then rent an electric car, I think I'll be set! :)
