who? « Ockham's Razor

who?

ClareSnow Dan Werle, the nonchalant revolutionary of the zine Manumission had this to say in 1992,

It’s very sad to think that it really took me a long time to sit down and get myself together to do this because I was so scared of coming forth and offering my voice…to actually come out and say something and have to defend my words or support my arguments.

from Notes from Underground: Zines and the Politics of Alternative Culture by Stephen Duncombe (1997)

I live in Perth, Western Australia and I am the lazyst environmentalyst because I care so much about the world and what we have done to it over time, but I feel I don’t do enough to solve these problems.

Sometimes I agree with French bohemian Théophile Gautier who said in 1836,

It appears to me that the most fitting occupation for a civilised person is to do nothing.

In this blog I write about what I am doing and I hope over time to do more and more to ensure we all have a future. I would love to hear ideas from others about how I could live in a more sustainable way, while still being a lazyst environmentalyst.

Clare is the lazyst bum goin I have magnetic letters on my fridge and visitors have to leave a message. Because there are only two of each letter, messages can be a bit weird. Someone left this sweet missive:

Offensive language aside, I thought it was strangely appropriate.

There have been threats on Ayesha the cat’s life written in magnetic letters. It could have been Sheeba the dog, but I have my doubts.

Hey there,

Just plodding around wordpress and I came across your blog. Great Work!

I’m wondering if you’d like to swap links on blogrolls?

My site is at http://www.desmogblog.com

You have an excellent blog Clare. It’s great to read a WA perspective on green living. I will be returning to learn more. :)

Hello Clare,
I’ve found your blog really interesting. Not sure how I missed it up until now. I’m writing a blog about our house build in Perth. I’d like to say that it is a sustainable build but I think I’d have to drop that to semi-sustainable and trying…it’s a little more complicated given that we are living in New Caledonia..
Two questions: firstly – what were the problems with the gas-boosted side of your dad’s solar hot water system – as we are planning on using this system?
Secondly – I’d be interested in exchanging links.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Clare,

I’ve enjoyed reading the recent few entries in your blog. I write about environment from a more historical and literary perspectives from my base in Freo.

I’ve added a link to your site on my blog.

Cheers,

Tom.

Hello Clare
just to say I enjoyed reading your blog and especially the long post about Dingoes. Altho I live in OZ I am involved in snow leopard conservation but I also spend a lot of time in the Australian bush and care about Australian wildlife conservation too – especially Koalas and whales. I didn’t know any of those things you wrote about dingoes, I’ve always been fascinated about them and have learnt heaps – thanks :-)

Hi Claire.

Nice Blog! I have been experimenting a little with wordpress myself with

http://nevillenumbat.wordpress.com/

Anyway, we are in the process of building a new website for the Conservation Council WA and as part of that we will be hosting environmental blogs.

I wonder if you would like to contribute to that from time to time?

In the mean time keep up the good work. Dont hesitate to contact neville numbat on facebook or me at CCWA.

Regards,

Piers.
