Save the Icebergs

Where will all the polar bears go if there are no icebergs left?

About Me

I reckon if all the 6 billion people in the world did just one environmentally friendly thing every day we could save a few icebergs from eternal meltwater.And while we're at it lets be good to one another too - support fair trade and ethical businesses.Originally from Barnsley, South YOrkshire I now live in London - far from an environmentally (or otherwise for the matter) friendly place.I'm keen to reduce my impact on the world and to, as far as possible, make sure my choices do not harm others.

My Interests

Nature, wildlife, overseas development

I'd like to meet:

Other environmentally friendly types with words of wisdom to share on their green experiences.And a penguin!

Music:

The Bare Necessities & Dolly Parton - music to make bears boogie!

Movies:

March of the Penguins, Ice Age - oh and Dirty Dancing.

Television:

All the wildlife documentaries and CSI (either one!)

Books:

The Last King of Scotland - Giles Foden

Heroes:

Everyone with a conscience.
