…Aside from being a self-indulgent lexical mashup, that is.
I’m trying to live green. To be as environmentally friendly as possible. I’m also trying to solve pressing problems like “What the hell do I do with this leftover paper soup cup?”, “How can I compost when I don’t have a garden?” and “Who’s going to stop the buggers who let their dogs poo outside my front door?”.
But living green isn’t easy. Not because it’s a lot of effort – it’s more a matter of habit than anything else. But because, unless you’re a bit of an ecowarrior, the whole task of making your life greener can seem pretty confusing. I know what I can stick in my recycling box, but does everyone else? And, actually, sometimes I don’t know what I can and can’t stick in my box.
So, since I’m too gentle to be an ecowarrior and too fond of cups of tea and biscuits to be a Swampy-esque frontline activist, I’m an econaut. The Econaut, if you like. An explorer in the world of going green. (And the less appealing world of stopping dog mess being left on doorsteps). And if you’re nice, I’ll bring you back a souvenir.
