ABOUT ME

Karl Salter, Ordinary Bloke

Hi. My name is Karl. I'm not an environmental activist, I don't work in climate change or environmental conservation. Like thousands of ordinary people, I watch Blue Planet, put my recycling in the correct bins and get on with my daily life. But here's the thing, I read, a lot. And now I'm a tad scared.

I have an amazing wife and two wonderful kids. In the past few years I have come to realise three things:

the planet my kids will inherit is dying :(
I want to make a change, that won't cost the earth
I don't want to spend my life reading sad and miserable stories about our planet. I want to celebrate and share what we can do. Great stories and innovative products from those making a change!

Like a lot of people I have a job (I'm a web designer), responsibilities, and little spare time or cash to spend on being more environmentally friendly.

For my life to become greener I needed quick, easy and inexpensive tips on how to change. So I set myself a challenge, to change 52 things in my life, one a week, for a year. And to have fun doing it. Let's celebrate not commiserate!

The focus of my journey (and this blog) was to see if ordinary people could make simple, relatively inexpensive changes to our lives to make a big difference to planet Earth.

This is my journey, I hope you can join me along the way :)
