New Years Recycling Resolution

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoyed the festive season and the beginning of 2013. Sorry I haven't been posting lately, a lot of things happening. But! I am back and ready for the new year :) My resolution will be to post a new post every week, even if it's something as small as just one photo.

I will start off the year with something for all of you to consider and think about and maybe even take take up as a New Year resolution.

So as you know I am a great lover of nature and am always striving to find ways to convince everyone who reads my blog (if you haven't been already) that our planet including all the plants and animals are worth protecting and saving and it is our duty to do so. In saying that, here is a infographic about the impacts of plastic on our world and how we can reduce the impact. Simply by recycling!

I hope you all have a great day :)

Yay! Something to spice up my blog :) I've come up with a few new ideas for my blog and this is one of them.

#1 The Little Kiwi

My first Natural wonder is a national icon and native to New Zealand, the Kiwi Bird.

The Kiwi bird is quite an amazing species, being able to lay the largest egg relative to their size of any species of bird in the world. That goes to show, how dedicated these birds are if their mother's are prepared to lay an egg, half their size, as seen in the photo below.
