Blogging for charity-The Green Chain
*(exceptionally this post is going to be only in english)
I found this campaign very interesting and useful to help some ONG's which are trying to help out our environement, so why not to answer to the following 8 questions? PriceMinister will donate £10 to my chosen charity.
Hope you react as I did to make this work and make a group of people happy!
To participate just go to The Green Chain page and copy paste this series of questions on your blog... piece of cake!
-Turning the heating down by just one degree in your house saves 240kg
of CO2 a year. It would take eight trees to soak up this amount of CO2!
Are you currently doing anything to make your home eco-friendly?
Actually I don't put the heating on to more of 18°, I don't have a car (and I don't like them...) so I take public transport or I cycle, better for the environement and my legs!
- Rainforests once covered 14% of the earth's land surface, now they only
cover 2%. How are you reducing your use of paper?
In my office we don't have any area to recycle, so I have suggested to re-use the paper we print to use both sides (most of the paper we print are not that important...), anyway I would like to have an exclusive area where all the company could recycle, also for batteries and IT material which is not recycled or selected to trhough away in a proper way...
- At PriceMinister we believe that trading second hand items online is a
great way to extend the life span of products. Have you ever thought of
buying or selling second hand items on or off line?
I think I'm a precursor on the subject ;) I buy a lot of second hand items on-line, especially vintage stuff that are rubbish for the actual owners and a treasure for me! This helps everybody to appreciate better what we have and what we get (unique objects for other eras are charming, less expensive and we don't force industries to continue producing stuff we don't really need!!)
- One of the biggest environmental challenges we face is Freshwater
Shortages. Are you taking measures to reduce your water consumption?
Well I could do better... I remember when I was a child and my parents took us (my brother and me) to the nature... we never stopped by a supermarket and bought water!!! We carried it from home in a thermos to keep it fresh and we renewed it all the time in natural sources... so we didn't have to deal with plastic bottles ... I remember very well how this changed so easily and made us lazier....and less ecological...
- How do you choose the produce that goes into your shopping basket?
(any favorite products?)
Lately I have choosen to cook more and more so I don't use anything beside basic products like eggs, veggies, flour, sugar, milk... so my basket seems closer to a 70 years old womand than a 30 (ies) year old working woman... but even if I pass more time making dinner I enjoy it a lot more...
- What is your favourite green space near home? (a photo would be great!)
I like almost all green spaces in Paris... but one I enjoy a lot (especially in the morning weekend's) is Le parc de la Villette. Full of families in the morning and young people in the afternoon (you can also enjoy free concerts once in a while!)
- Which charity would you like to support and why?
Young Peoples Trust for the Environment (I trust little ones can appreciate and maybe fix the chaos we have right now...)

to contact to raise an extra £10

| Image by Appartement Therapy |
One of the confirmations is as in 2009 crochet is a hit! by a large majority... My customers are still the French (proximity is very important) and the most chosen color is still brown, but what is great is that in the top three I have GREEN! a color I didn't expect to see here... :) Happy to know that possitiviness is back.
FR:
J'ai fait mon bilan 2010 et j'ai eu quelque confirmations comme aussi quelque surprises...
Une des confirmations est que le crochet est encore le roi! et que mes clients les plus nombreux sont en France (la proximité est très importante). La couleur la plus choisie est le marron mais, pour ma agréable surprise dans le podium on trouve aussi LE VERT! on fête que le positivisme est de retour.

El color mas elegido es el marron pero, para mi agradable sorpresa encontramos en el top tres el color VERDE! y festejemoslo que el positivismo esta de vuelta!

My green spirit
I would like to know why lately I have made so many green items... it is an obsession, what means this color to me?
I did a little research and I found this:
"Green is the color of nature and it soothes and refreshes. The color of green is considered healing and a good omen for those in trouble. Green is a strong energy and attracts a lot of positive power, it is the shade of peace and harmony. Green can indicate a situation that will seek the most peaceful solution possible, and follow the paths of least resistance. It is the color of honesty and truth"
So, do you like greens? which one is your favorite one?
Have a nice week...
FR:
J'aimerais bien savoir pourquoi dernièrement j'ai fait autant d'items en couleur verte?... c'est une obsession? que est-ce que cette couleur signifie?
J'ai fait de recherches et j'ai trouvé ça:
"Le vert est la couleur de la nature et il apaise et rafraîchit. La couleur verte est considéré comme la guérison et de bon augure pour ceux en difficulté. Vert est une énergie forte et attire beaucoup d'énergie positive, c'est l'ombre de la paix et l'harmonie. Le vert peut indiquer une situation qui va chercher la solution la plus pacifique possible, et suivre les sentiers de la moindre résistance. C'est la couleur de l'honnêteté et la vérité."
Donc, vous aimez bien le vert? lequel?
Bonne semaine!

Me encataria saber porque ultimamente hago tantas cosas en color verde? es una obsesion? que significa este color?
Haciendo un poco de investigacion encontré esto...
"El verde es el color de la naturaleza, suaviza y refresca. El color verde se considera la curación y un buen augurio para los que tienen problemas. Verde es una energía fuerte y atrae a una gran cantidad de energía positiva, es la paz y la armonía. Verde puede indicar una situación que buscará la solución más pacífica posible, y seguir los caminos de menor resistencia. Es el color de la honestidad y la verdad."
Y a vos te gusta el verde? cual es el que mas?
Buena semana!
