Reversing climate change with R149!

I bought a heater.

It was was the best thing I could do to combat climate change. I'm sitting on top of it, but at my knees are not cold.

It cost me R149 and I think it is the best investment I have made this year ... OK also the only capital expenditure ... but there you go. One must do one's best to stop climate change in its tracks and when faced with such an enormous calamity it is often best to start stopping the rot close to home. Sweep in front of your own door as it were.

So I reversed climate change with R149 ... but that was a temporary stoppage like the Dutch boy with his finger in the the dyke ... or is that dike ... either way that does not bear too much scrutiny... It sounds pornographic and after 12 hours of checking language I am in no mood to check my own.

The climate in my humble abode is just fine now... and ever conscious of my footprint I have only activated one bar of my 2-bar halogen heater from a company called Aim. The weather outside has also improved dramatically and can even be considered as normal for Joburg this time of the year. Crisp clear blue skies with the trees showing off their autumn colours ... quite pretty really. See what can happen if we take action against climate change.  

Meanwhile I learnt that it rained twice as much in Joburg so far this year as it does on average, No wonder my towels are all a bit sour.

On that subject ... many years ago my brother Noddy told me how he went to the gym and having forgotten his own towel he borrowed one from a colleague ... only to find it a bit sour ... in his own words he explained what happened next: "And the very fuckin next day I got this fuckin ugly fuckin boil on my back!"

I thought of his words while wiping my face ... and got a fuckin boil on my face!

One must be careful what one thinks.

But tomorrow I must get up early again ... so off to bed with me again ... saving some more energy.

I am a dedicated eco warrior.
