365 Days of Fun and Chillaxation – Blog 250 – Congratulations You Made it Through to 2011!!! This is the Year We Get Seriously Creative About Going Green.
For me the role of Happyzine is to illuminate what’s possible for the planet. And so I rejoice in publishing an amazing array of ‘working the edge’, why not, optimistic articles about sustainability. This year we’ve run some real goodies – including:
Bee Keeping – Reclaiming the Ancient Craft
Sustainable Design – Why It’s Gonna Save the World – According to Lee Barry
Full Harvest – How One Woman Works With Heirloom Seed to Enjoy Organic Food All Year
Permaculture and Transition Towns Meet New Brighton – By Rebecca May
Solar panels for beginners
Ekodo: A West Coast Story (Part 1)
Ekodo: A West Coast Story (Part 2)
Trowel Power!
White Roofs Project NZ – The fastest way of reducing global warming
Living, Growing Roofs Beginning to Sprout in Aotearoa
Be An Urban Mountaineer
Knitting our way out of Peak Oil
Ok, with some restraint I will stop listing my favorites from 2010. Honestly, you have got to check out these people’s work as these are all articles of HOPE.
So what do I wish for 2011? I wish for more of the same on Happyzine. I wish for more and more and more words of optimism about the planet. I wish for more and more exciting news to report on. I wish for leading edge, green innovation for Aotearoa/New Zealand. I wish for New Zealand to step up and up and up and spearhead green design and sustainable living within an International context. We have so much opportunity, so much room to move, so much consensus that now’s the time to steer our country down a greener, bluer, more optimistic road. I wish for POSITIVE GREEN CHANGE for my country. That’s what I wish for and hoping a star was shooting as I wrote these words (most probably).
As I write this, we’re one and a half hours away from 2011. I wish you a safe, happy passage into the new year and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy this ride with Happyzine.
With love,
Charlotte
