Who are we ?
So who is the Armchair Environmentalist ?
Well, the Environmentalist bit is easy. I care about our planet, and am concerned about climate change and the damage that is going on around us.
As for the Armchair bit, well. As much as I’d like to follow Greta’s example and protest around the World by sitting outside government offices, if I was to do that, one of two things would happen, I’d either be arrested, or I’d be offered medical help. But realistically, that kind of action just isn’t that feasible for me, I’m just a normal person, like all of you, I have a 9 to 5 job, and a mortgage and bills to pay, but I still want to do my bit, albeit from the comfort of my own home, or armchair if you will.
So that’s what this site is all about, I’m going to investigate what options are available, what products I can use to help me reduce my own energy consumption, and how I can bring down my carbon emissions.
No matter how small a positive difference I, or you make, every little will help.
