This post has been inspired by people around me and they are inspirational, in the ‘living green category’. This is a list of the ‘Sarhn awards’. Like the Grammies and Oscars but only better! J
My cousin Amber
An amazing woman who has been supporting my quest to not only live a greener life but also a life lived free from cruelty to animals. Read my post about Lucy which was inspired by Amber.
Regular readers will be familiar of Zoo man, Tassie Devil defender Dave. His wife Lou is a regular contributor of information to this blog.
Dave is regularly featured in the press. From being on the TV show ‘The Zoo’ and many newspaper and magazine articles; Dave speaks out about the plight of our Tassie Devil.
Remember the Tassie Devil fund raiser in 2008? Dave’s virtual Devil and many others helped to raise over $50,000. This money will help zoos throughout Australia breed Devils for release into the wild when it’s safe to do so.
Graham (I met Graham when I photographed his wedding)
I recently found Graham and his wife on facebook. They accepted my invitation to join my facebook network of friends.
Looking through Graham’s photographs and facebook profile I was not only inspired but surprised. Surprise because I never knew of his work and researching in saving the Ethiopian Wolf. This species of wolf are those long legged variety found in the mountains of Ethiopia and there are only 500 remaining.
According to the ‘Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme’ website, Graham joined as a field coordinator in 2006 and since then has been working in Ethiopian in the attempts to save this species.

Hi gorgeous man you! You have been totally supportive of the changes I have made throughout our home and lifestyle. I realise that my quest to live a ‘greener’ life directly impacts you and thus you have also been on a ‘green’ journey that was not of your own partaking. Though this was my idea and passion you have embraced the ‘green’ journey and made it your own. Thank you for your love and support.
Australian Bloggers
This is a little thank you to those bloggers who have supported, encouraged and inspired me on my journey to live a ‘greener’ life.

Good day.
Have you ever think about creating your very own blog? There are many great platforms, but by far the best is WordPress. It is fast to set up, however the themes just never fit my specifications. I looked for a simple solution to this problem and realized that there wasn’t one. I then had a template custom made for my needs and was so happy with the outcome. I then decided to build a website that would show the world how to easily hire an expert in wordpress design.

Dave you and Lou are inspirational ! Thank you on behalf of all Australians for your hard work in helping to keep the Tassie Devils alive. I just don’t think many Australians realise how many of our loved native animals are close to being extinct.
I can’t imagine living in Australia without the Tassie Devil but I know this could be a reality.
You are a legend Dave!

Hey Gav, funny story……I read your comment on my Blackberry last night. I thought you must be responding to something in this post but I couldn’t work out the conection.
So I asked my husband what your comment meant and he started singing in a muppet voice “It’s not easy being green”. I forgot about that Kermit the Frog song. Miss Piggy would be very angry at me!

Hi Tricia,
By looking at your blog I would never have guessed that you have been only blogging for a couple of weeks. Welcome to cyber blog world. There are some really wonderful bloggers out there and especially in the Australian green category you will find the bloggers are very supportive.
It takes time and you woud be surprised on who is reading (even if people don’t always leave comments they do read).
And look you have already made an impact as you gave me the great idea of starting a ‘Clean Up Australia’ day for our dog walking area!
Hey it is blog love all around today!
