Hello World!

I'm using my first-ever blog to muse aloud about the amount of money people will pay for an item of "art".

Homelessness is a problem that affects many people in America. If you are homeless yourself and need help or if you want to learn more about homelessness and how you can help, we have information for you

We all know that how you spend your money can have a big impact on issues of social conscience - buying the right clothes means you don't give money to those operating sweatshops, buying - or not buying - the right products can mean great benefits to the environment and boycotting companies due to their policies can effect change.

One of the best ways you can cut your impact on the environment is to make the switch to a green electricity supplier or tariff. Currently in the UK all electricity firms must generate a certain percentage of electricity, however there are many firms that offer 100% green electricity supplies.

Since almost all usages of energy in the home that isn't related to heating is electricty consumption, switching to a supplier that generates their electricity from 100% renewable sources such as solar, wind or tidal/wave energy will mean a dramatic cut in your personal emissions and a reduction in climate change worldwide.

We all know its time to make a change in our lives to fight climate change and the decay of our environment, but often the scale of the problem is so immense we get overwhelmed and end up thinking action is pointless, that there is little we can do to stop it.
