3 years ago I had a "life rethink", went to university, intent on becoming a nurse, so I could help others. I had had enough of working in a Bank, I wanted to give something back, I really did.
I went to University of Plymouth to do a degree in Psychiatric Nursing. I struggled, and in the end even with the help of a Dyslexia tutor I failed one of my modules. Thus I find myself at home, back in Cornwall, unemployed.
I've always had a passion for all things "green". I guess growing up in Cornwall, playing on the beaches, living in fowey, living near Eden, they all enable you to admire the beauty of the natural world. I always rember as a kid going to the beach at Porthpean, and seeing all sorts of wastes being washed up. I remember Kyaking at Charlestown and ending up in a sea of sewage.
I know due to campaigns in the 90's and still ongoing now, the effect that Surfers Against Sewage have had on the local beaches in Cornwall, and nationwide. I know that if it wasn't for groups like them that UV disinfection would not be saving lives of people day in day out, saving them from E coli and Hepatitis A.
My interest in the enivoroment is far wider ranging than just this, I guess I'm just trying to explain how directly it's affected me as I've grown up. Going to university really opened my eyes to all sorts of different issues worldwide about trade, debt and "aid", about HIV/AIDS, about sustainable living and climate change.
We all know Global warmings already here, the question is how much we can do NOW to make the Earth a safer place for everyone who comes after us, regardless of where they are in the world.
While I don't claim to be a visonary, far from it, I wanted to do somthing for my local area, something that would support the enviroment, something that would directly help charity's....so I decided to start Eco2you.co.uk
This is my life, this is my world.
