A journey to a better life

I've always been plagued by a feeling that I should be doing more - if not to actively save the world, to stop destroying it quite so wantonly.

But environmental change is such a complex, controversial and mystical area. Will it really make any difference to the world if I lag my loft? Does it actually save energy to recycle a plastic bottle? And, the burning question of if I should I turn off my computer at night.

But, a confused media message is no real excuse for inaction nowadays. I've decided to find out practical steps that busy people can take to make a genuine difference to the world. Small changes, all moving in the right direction, all worth doing.
