Japanese Men Find A New Way To Say ‘I Love You!’

Tags

February 14th, I Love You, love your environment, recycle works, Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone!

Did you see the item on TV where the Japanese men, those who have not told their wives they love them in the last 12 months, gather in a public park and shout praises to their wives and it is broadcast all over the park. Well this young guy comes along and shouts with all his might that he loves his wife and he hopes that she will continue making good meals?

A little hint to all wanabee loved husbands and wives – grow your own vegetables at home in a raised bed!

Love Your Environment! Love Everyone!

Darwin Day – 12th February 2009

Charles Darwin, Darwin Day

I am really looking forward to the programmes and events in tribute to Darwin’s 200th Birthday Anniversary on 12th February. For interesting matters relating to the Birthday try http://www.darwinday.org/englishL/home/index.html.  It’s really quite interesting!

I know very little about Darwin’s work over and above the general information one gleans from one’s education. Anyway I am much more interested now.
If Darwin were around now I am sure he would approve the massive broadcasting of his work in technological ways that he could never have dreamed about. His only vehicles for spreading his knowledge were by word of mouth and in print, both extremely limiting.

Maybe today’s generations will be more knowledgeable that any other generation has been. I hope so. His life work was so positive and has kept great minds ticking for generations since.

So please join us today in celebrating Darwin Day and let’s continue making progress for all our futures!

Love Your Environment!

Did you know that if you cook double portions when you prepare hot meals, you could reduce your carbon footprint by 140kg CO2 per year? Also with Valentines Day approaching fast, surely there’s never been a better time start doing so!

You can read more about this, and other ideas for saving energy and money, in the sample pages from ‘The Environment Equation: 100 Factors that can add to or subtract from your total carbon footprint’ by Alex Shimo-Barry, available at http://www.foe.co.uk.

Also another way to save money is through Local Exchange Trading Schemes which are community-based networks where people exchange goods and services for free, for example transport, DIY skills or equipment. To find out more simply visit http://letslinkuk.net/
