Letter to the editor: Zero living

Notes: "The article ('Green your life', Oct. 2010, p. 1) raises some valid issues regarding actions to combat rising greenhouse gas emissions. Yes, we need firm commitment by government, but that is only half the story. The crisis facing our once-green world is global. The solution lies with each and every one of us. I live on Vancouver Island. I grow much of my own food, cycle, irrigate my garden with rainwater, eschew 'disposable' containers, dry my laundry out of doors, mend things that break and use elbow grease not power tools. I call it 'zero living' and I invite others to follow suit. In the words of Professor Lynn McDonald, 'Anglicans need to green their lives'. But so too does everyone else. Now."
