Title: Some What Green
1Some What Green
2About Us
Hi, Im Tracey, and my Somewhat Green journey
started in March 2019. My light bulb moment (or
Oprah Ah ah! moment) happened when I wanted to
get my step-grandchildren some gifts. So, we
called to a department store and picked up a heap
of presents. I was amazed at how cheap everything
was. The presents filled the boot! Instead of
going straight to the pool room as toys to be
treasured forever, some went straight to the
bin. There was a plastic cricket set that broke
immediately, a bat that didnt fit the plastic
ball, and a plastic golf stick that wasnt even
strong enough to hit the plastic ball it came
with. I said to myself Flipping heck! What did
I just fall into? Mass consumerism. Buying
excessive amounts of stuff, none of which is good
for the environment.
And, even worse, buying things that went
straight to landfill with barely a single use.
This wasnt single-use plastic this was no-use
plastic! I then started thinking of other things
I buy in everyday life that I dont need. My main
goal now is to reduce the amount of stuff I buy.
My thinking is simple if everyone buys quality
there will be less need for recycling and
landfill. In other words, we can reduce the
long-term impact on the environment of what we
buy by moving away from being a throw-away
society.
