Me Eco, You Eco: About

About Me

I'm dyslexic and love tomatoes. I work for Scottish Environmental LINK as the Parliamentary Office Administrator and IUCN UK Peatland Programme as their Communications Coordinator. I'm also a Tai Chi teacher and am the bassist for a local Edinburgh band, Thank You So Nice. And in my spare time, I'm a volunteer facilitator for Carbon Conversations.

About this Blog

Think of a good deed as an ant. Alone, an ant doesn’t seem like it can make much of a difference. Now think a million ants; all working together towards a common goal. People everywhere, everyday are doing good green deeds sometimes without even realising it. No matter how small and seemingly insignificant, because it is the small things that make a bigger difference. Me eco You eco helps people realise the impact of their good green deeds and motivate them to expand them even further. One-stop for ideas and resources mixed in with a bit of random wonderfulness from our world.
