Bring about an end to carbon crimes: a new pledge to cut your carbon every week
I’ve only just discovered The Guardian newspaper’s Tread Lightly campaign. It’s a wonderful idea. Every week the paper carries a new pledge for you to sign up to. All of the pledges involve ways of cutting your carbon footprint and becoming less impactful on the natural resources of the world. This week’s pledge is to switch from bottled to tap water.
Tread Lightly is a community of people, and includes a blog section where you can join in debates and share CO2-saving ideas.
The aim of the site, and the pledges, is to enable people to step up their efforts to reduce their own CO2 emissions, to track the combined efforts of the community, and provide a space in which you can be reassured you’re not the only one who cares and is willing to change.
You may ask, what’s wrong with bottled water? Well…

I am so fed up of mud. It’s everywhere right now. The poor chickens are miserable, I do my best to ensure their coop is dry by the time they go to bed but during daylight hours they have to scratch around in a soupy bog. I’m having to lay down fresh straw every single morning, and every night I’m having to remove their bedding and replace it with fresh to ensure they have somewhere warm and dry to sleep. You’re supposed to do this, depending on who you talk to and what you read, once a week or every fortnight. But I can’t see how I could leave the poor girls for 14 days without a change of bedding, even at the height of summer. Who wants to sleep in their own doings?
