World Environment Day : June 5th

Yes - World Environment Day is a thing. And it's happening today.

Started by the UN, and hosted by a different country each year, this years hosts Angola, turn the spotlight onto poaching of endangered species : good on them ! 

You can read all about it here on The Global Citizen : https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/most-poached-animals-world-environment-day/

If you're after a more specific bit of info about WED ( that's World Environment Day, not the day of the week ;) ) then go to :www.wed2016.com ( although be warned the website is a hit of jumble of TMI , and bad content management - but it is rich with suggestions on practical ways you can help today and all other days of the year) 

And last but not least - the project closest to my heart : Breaking the Brand - saving Rhinos by tackling the demand for horns in Vietnam -  are still running their Pozible campaign to raise cash to pay the photographers for some new ad images. The campaign runs until 3 July,  but WED seems like as good a day as any to pledge a couple of $$ or Rands to an excellently run and highly effective initiative. : https://pozible.com/project/205251 

Happy WED, everybody :)

Banting Confessions ...

OK. So in the food department, I've been eating High Fat Low Carb for a little over a two years now. And it's working. My weight has plummetted. My general health and energy levels are sky rocketing. I have gone down in size. You can see my waist again ! Key things I need to confess , lest people misunderstand how I eat. First up, I eat LOW Carb. Not NO Carb. I don't eat starch, or any HIGH carb high starch food food. But it's not possible to eat NO carb unless you completely avoid all veggies of all kinds and live on meat and fat. LCHF stands for LOW carb HIGH fat. In fact, I eat a wide wide range of veggies, that are all high in fibre and nutrients, and seriously seriously low in carbs . Like below 5g per 100g type of low. There are a surprisingly large number of vegetables on this list. And I eat as much of them as like, as often as I like. This is known as the GREEN list. Meats and most animal fats are also on the GREEN list, but, and heres the other ...

Thoughts on my Official Aussie-fication

Aussie-fication. That process whereby one becomes a naturalised citizen of the Aussie Aussie Aussie , Oi Oi Oi Universe. Not to be confused with a simple citizenship ceremony. Those are so 1990 darl.
