Brain Food > Sweating the Small Stuff
“When we ask people what they think is the most effective things they can do to reduce their carbon footprint, they often mention the stuff that has the smallest impact. Recycling, using more efficient lightbulbs, not leaving their television on standby or hanging their washing out to dry.
They often miss the big stuff: eating less meat, switching to an electric car, taking one less flight, insulating their home or investing in low-carbon energy. That’s why understanding the numbers is important. Not so we can stress about how much CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) we’re emitting by watching Netflix, but by helping people understand the handful of behaviour changes that really make a difference.”

George Carlin talking about Muhammed Ali and Vietnam in 1971:
Appendix
“I believe the way toward mastery of any endeavor is to work toward simplicity; replace complex technology with knowledge. The more you know, the less you need. From my feeble attempts at simplifying my own life I’ve learned enough to know that should we have to, or choose to live more simply, it won’t be an impoverished life but one richer in all the ways that really matter.”

That’s it for this week my friend. I hope there’s something in there for you and, as always, mind how you go out there.
Until next Monday - Niall
