Hi I am John. At 58, and after constantly seeing bad news about climate change on the news I decided to do what I can in my own life to try and leave a better planet for my children and grandchildren. I founded MyEcoIdeas.com initially as a place to post my own ideas for being more "Eco Savvy" and then quickly started to wonder if others might like to come on this "Eco Journey" with me, by sharing their own eco journey and ideas here on My Eco Ideas. I am trying to solar power my home office now, reduce any food waste, conserve water, and make any fuel or energy I use more efficient and cutting out waste. The eco journey so far has been very interesting and research eco issues is certainly proving a challenge at times. But it is fascinating and I think will be well worth it. I hope you will start your own "Eco Journey" and join the members area here on My Eco Ideas.
