The future of planet Earth (part three) - Water loss #tfope

Part three of a series of 20 episodes about the future of Planet Earth.  Paul O'Mahony hopes to complete the series during December 2019.

This episode features Spierkater.com founder Roger Overall.   

"Hello,  My name is Roger Overall.

Spierkater started as a place to put my running cartoons. It fizzled out, along with my enthusiasm for running. Running became too much effort. Turns out, I had cancer.

I wrote a book about it. The PDF version is free here: Roger & Hercule.

Now I’m past my cancer hurdle (for now anyway, maybe forever). I have found a clear purpose in life. Like many people, I’m often overwhelmed and feel beaten by the relentless bad news about the state of the planet. So I decided to do something about that.

I’m going to turn my life into an experiment: can a person live a life that is a net benefit to the environment?

That’s right. Spierkater is going to save the world. His corner of it, anyway. I have distilled the experiment into three simple steps:

Looks straightforward enough. What could possibly go wrong? You too might be feeling powerless about the state the earth. By doing this experiment, I’m hoping to find and offer you suggestions that will help you take action yourself, so you can regain a sense of control by contributing to rebuilding the planet’s health.
