Talking to friends recently

        After the dinner I felt like sharing some photos from
              NYC evoking lounge room with glamorous cushions!
Hope to get back one day! 

I got talking with some people at a dinner I had recently, that it might be time we slowed down pushing the whole sustainability band-wagon, as a purely green related 'stunt' and instead promoted the cause under some other banner, eg economics, health etcetera.

I do have to say that bleary eyed and under the influence of alcohol, they looked back at me blankly, and abit askance.

I have long been interested in the way we market the campaign to the public, and ways of making greenie lifestyles more appealing.

Perhaps folks will be more interested to change behaviour if it's promoted to help them get fitter, or to slim down, or help save them money.  I note that all of these benefits go with gardening, and lowering your carbon footprint in the garden (as decks, paved areas and the like do cost a packet).

And so saying, in my spare wee hours of the night, I have set up a website called www.converseconserve.com   It's a place where we can share ideas about promoting sustainability. Green marketing from a different angle.
