We are our environment.

This page, like me, is very much a work in progress!

Designed by a small pack of unionised Oompa Loompa's to keep you informed about my magnificent adventures and acts of daring-do....as I personally attempt to single-handedly save the entire planet from catastrophic self-destruction!!

Alright, alriiiiiiight - that may sound a tad ambitious - and you'd be right - but hey, we've got to start somewhere..!

But let's drop any of that foolish talk about saving the world alone..

Save the world alone? BAH! I want you to come with me!

Don that super-hero mask my friend! Throw that car-seat-cover cape across your shoulders and strike a pose in the setting sun like a Spanish folk hero (specifically, this Spanish folk hero)!

That's right gals and guys - it's save the planet time!

I'm sure you realise that the fight will be far from easy - about as far from easy as you can possibly get. It'll be grubby, nasty and down-right heart-breaking. And things are going to get a hell of a lot worse before they get any better.

Our enemies are pounding at the gates - the usual band of comic-book nasties.

Global warming. Deforestation. Over-population. Over-consumption. Pollution. Disease. Famine and greed. And make no mistake - they're all a bunch of dirty-rotten scum-sucking bastards.

But fear not - the way forward is clear in the night, and lit up with solar-powered garden lights.

Comrades of the green and the good - take up your rakes, rusty spades and bags of organic compost!

But hang on just a minute - I'm sensing a certain lack of enthusiasm here. Apathy. A Fear of failure even..

Aye, it's true - fight and you may die. Of frustration. Or from banging your head against brick walls and bloody bureaucrats.

Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now.

But would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our four-wheel-drives, coal generators and unsustainable ways but they'll never take... OUR VEGGIE PATCHES!

(p.s. I will be adding to this section on a regular basis with new ideas, initiatives and causes to support - but if you have any suggestions on how I can do things better, or any general criticism you think might be useful (just plain warranted) , please feel free to get in contact with me using the details provided - cheers!

Business Card Carbon Offset Policy

Like a lot of people, I've always been emotionally invested in protecting the environment. But that doesn't matter a dang skippy unless you act on those emotions.

Unfortunately, what I believe in is often incongruent with what I do,

I'm a graphic designer. I produce and print things sourced from sustainable forests- but forests nonetheless. Forests that would otherwise be sucking out carbon from the atmosphere, providing a kookaburra somewhere with a place to live, or preventing soil erosion and hypersalinity.

So the question is: how can I help make this right - or at the least, negate the impact I am currently causing.

Well, the answer I think, is pretty straight forward - for every tree removed, I should plant say, five new ones or something like that.

So, in 2009, I've decided to do just that!

For every order of 1000 business cards, I will personally fund the planting of ten native trees!

This will offset approximately 1.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide per set - or 1.6 kg of carbon per card!. Talk about a conversation starter!

Also, I reckon it would be a major achievement to get Fuzzy Illogic listed on the 'green supporters' page at carbonneutral.com.au

....which means I need to find the money to plant at least 120 trees this year.

But hey - that's only one set of business cards per month!

If that isn't achiveable, I don't know what is.

So you'll not only be the recipient of arguably the best designed cards in Whyalla, but you'll also be helping to save - wait for it, wait for it - the ENTIRE PLANET!

The benefits are obvious:

1) There might be a few trees left standing when your grandchildren grow up

2) You'll get that warm, gushy feeling inside for doing something totally awesome

3) You'll probably sleep better

4) I'll give you a shiny award on my (soon to be created) honour board!

5) You'll have something to talk to the hippies and pinko's about.

6) 'Green' Business cards come with a +5 Karma bonus

7) Planting trees might actually help to reduce the onset of global warming - so you could end up paying less for your electric bill!

Aaaaand to top that off, for a little extra dough (that is to say money, not actual dough) , I can even print your cards on recycled (but still very decent) paper stock - so you'll be saving the world even more grief! In fact, you'll be a cerifiable environmental champion!

So come on, you need a business card, I need to work - let's get together and make this happen!

( if business is brisk, hopefully I'll be able to extend this initiative to other products as well)
