About Me

My photo
Pippa
Surrey, BC, Canada
I'm fortunate to have several passions in my life. I am absolutely an eco-nut. I am always trying to find new ways to reduce, reuse, recycle. We, as a species, have done more harm to this planet in the short time we have been here, than any other catastrophe or happening ever has. It's up to us to fix it. I care about the environment whether it is as small as a single cell or as large as the universe. I adore creativity and think we can all do more with much less. This earth has enough resources for us all to live comfortably if we all learn to share. Wasn't that a lesson we were supposed to learn in kindergarten? I also love the bizarre, unusual, the weird and the strange. Be prepared for the odd "different" blog.
