Alan Skerrett : Eco Warrior

I'm lazy and self-centred. I recycle bottles (beer and wine mostly), but mainly because my wife nudges me towards the recycling bin. That's bad. I should make more effort to keep our planet healthy.

I'm going to try and change a few things in my life and with a bit of luck, step-by-step, one day I will earn the title Eco Warrior.

"What's this got to do with me?" I hear you bellow. Well, I'm going to tell you about my eco adventures and with any luck you'll think, "Hey, that guy's lazy like me, but he found a hassle-free way to be more environmentally-friendly. I'm gonna do that too."

And together we'll save the Earth. Or maybe not. Whatever, I'll try and stick some jokes in to keep you amused.

To get you in the mood, let's think about whether real or fake xmas trees are better.
