Hello lovely people, I’ve got a very important announcement: Earth Baby has moved! My new web address is: http://earthbabyblog.org/ I’ve now got my own domain, to avoid the advertising I complained about in my last post. I’m very excited about it! There’s still lots to do before I’m fully satisfied, but please go to my new … Continue reading
I’m absolutely livid. Today I looked at one of my older posts, because somebody had commented on it, and I was presented with this message at the end of the article. I knew that WordPress have a special option for bloggers to earn money from their writing by getting ads on their blog. Some people … Continue reading
WordPress informs me that Earth Baby is 2 years old today! It may be a small achievement compared to the mega-blogs that have been going for years and have thousands of subscribers, but for my part I’m incredibly proud of myself for actually keeping up with this hobby. Before I started blogging I was much … Continue reading
Hello lovely readers! I’m sorry to admit I’ve been neglecting my blog slightly these last few weeks, and I’ve only just noticed why. It’s my summer holiday from university and I’m back in my hometown for a couple of months, visiting my family and my old friends. I realised today that the reason I haven’t … Continue reading
If everyone in the world consumed the same amount of resources and produced as much waste as the average person in Western Europe, we’d need three planets. If we all lived like the North Americans, we’d need five. On the global scale, we’re using just over one and a half Earths worth of resources and … Continue reading
Okay, now I’m going to sentence you to my musings, thoughts and half-baked plans. As you may know already, I’m studying a degree in Environment and Media Studies. I’ve just finished my first year, and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. This September I’ll need to organise my placement year, a 12 month optional … Continue reading
As you may know, I’m a university student. I may be incredibly wealthy compared with many people around the world, but compared with other people in the UK I’m pretty skint. This means that for the last year I haven’t been shopping in my local healthfood store nearly as often as I’d like and have instead been … Continue reading
On this cloudy Sunday me and a friend of mine went along to Vegfest – an annual veggie bonanza of deliciousness that takes place in Brighton, Bristol and London. It was absolutely packed, like to the extent that it was hard to navigate around the place. There were 125 stalls and lots of talks and cookery demos – it was … Continue reading
I’ve just run back from the bank, beaming like a Cheshire Cat after donating £101 to Save the Arctic. Okay that’s not quite true, I didn’t run. I hate running. But the donation part is totally true! I know what you’re thinking: “Wow you’re generous! Also isn’t that a bit of a weird amount to give?” Well let me … Continue reading
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my boss insisting on using paper cups in the student cafe, rather than china cups. I had a problem with this because Starbucks coffee is probably our biggest seller and all the cups are thrown out after just one fleeting use – resulting in heaps of … Continue reading
Hello again, any lovely people who might be reading! I’m so sorry I haven’t fed my blog for almost a month, but believe me it hasn’t been down to a lack of inspiration or morale. Basically, in my ”about” page it says that I started this blog a year ago to pactise my writing in … Continue reading
If you’re one of those people that agonize over the world’s many problems, and find that your awareness of current issues is threatening to turn into a black cloud of apathy and despair (rather than a fuel for positive action) then you are who I wrote this post for. Many people I know care a … Continue reading
If you don’t know what the Transition Movement is, then go to either my post about it or the official website. There, now you know I can get started. You see I’m very busy doing nothing much at the moment. Even though I only have a part-time job, and that apart from that this blog … Continue reading
