Things to do Today...
• Quietly walk from room to room and switch off unused appliances at the wall
• Put on a cardigan instead of the heater
• Don’t drive: use a tram, train, bike or bus
• Using junk mail, cut and paste a ‘No Junk Mail’ sign for the letterbox
• Do less: go to bed early and read
Thursday 5 June is World Environment Day – the UN’s initiative to popularise reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. To really get into the spirit, calculate the household’s emissions and create an offset account. Or just slow down and spend less energy all-round.

There's a line of cyprus trees near where I park my car at work (in Melbourne). It's a cacophony of noise and high-spirits at the end of the day, and I can't resist stepping towards them, inching closer and closer, to the very same spot when the lookout's warning pierces the air and they all stop, instantaneously. Complete silence. I love it. I can't see the birds, don't even know which they are, but I know they're all looking at me. Then I retreat with a smile on my face and the temperment to handle the traffic. It makes me leave work at ten to 5 every day just to experience this little natural wonder. Just thought I'd share.

LOL! I like the thought of creating a 'no junk mail' sign with junk mail!!
Glad to have stumbled on this site as I am coming to visit Melbourne in July and am hoping not to be stressed!
I love all these points, especially the last one. Feels like we're up working closer and closer to bed time every night. like what am I doing here right now at 11:43?
