Environmental Journal
Entry 1: The start.
The saying goes “you have to start somewhere” and I feel like this has been a long time coming. Today is the day I finally talk to the elephant in the room, not just because it is there, but because it is getting bigger.
I am starting this journal today for a few reasons. I will keep them brief and concise – there will be plenty of time to get deeper as this thing progresses.
This is my list:
- I am concerned about the health of our planet.
- I want to hold myself accountable.
- I want to do better.
- I want our business to do better.
- I want to stop
For as long as I can remember I have let my frustrations get the better of me. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel slightly hypocritical when discussing issues of the environment, but I am slowly starting to realise that my frustration is just another excuse – something I need to get over if I am going to make a difference.
Today is the start of something bigger than me. That scares the shit out of me but is something that needs addressing one small step at a time…
I hope you join me as I get this all off my chest and hopefully we can inspire each other along the way, because I can’t do this on my own.
Cheers,
Burts X
