Would you like to live more sustainability but need a helping hand from an experienced old drama queen? Maybe you're an eco-minded blogger who wants a great excuse to offer even more inspiration to your readers in 2011.
If this sounds like you and you fancy making your mark on creating a more sustainable society, please consider giving bonkers old Baglady a place in your home for 2011. To put it frankly, she's been hanging around here for much of 2010 and it's about time I moved her on. She won't take up much of your time I promise and in good olde Irish tradition, you can kick her out and send her on her way after you've helped her out a bit and when she's finished the washing up!
Baglady, aka environmental film-maker Shirley Lewis, hails from Northern Ireland and has pledged to help individuals and communities to live ASAP, i.e, As SUSTAINABLY as Possible. In her inimitable style she has been busy sorting out her local MPs and in 2011 she's planning on chatting up some more. In readiness she's collecting as many personal pledges as possible to take to her local assembly in June 2011 to help influence government policy and encourage politicians everywhere to take the lead in their own communities. So she really needs your help!
What can you do?
It's very easy and won't take much time at all, no matter where in the world you are. Just spend a couple of minutes visiting Baglady's website and pledge to Take Up an idea that is sustainable and Give Up doing something in your life that isn't. Christmas is a great time to reflect on this and the new year is the perfect opportunity to set yourself some new goals and the children can get involved too.
There are also other ways in which you can help in the new year. Baglady's campaign Round 2 ASAP is being officially launched by her PR company on 11/1/11 but she is an impatient old bag and wants to get the party started sooner than that. Well she is 590 million years old and has waited long enough, so who could blame her.
So if you are a blogger who would like to join Baglady in her SECRET INTERNET LAUNCH, sign up now! Taking place between 1st-10th January, all you need to do is blog about your own ASAP pledge and invite a few friends to do the same and help keep her going. It'll be fabulous to see how far she'll end up before she needs to be back in Northern Ireland on June 21st.
Oh I love nothing better than a super duper secret launch party. If you would like to be involved as an ASAP Secret Launch blogger, please email me at karen[at]therubbishdiet[dot]co[dot]uk and I'll be happy to send out the official press release and blog badge and answer any questions that you might have.
So please let's not waste this Christmas: ADOPT BAGLADY FOR 2011 TODAY!

One does hope your post is followed with due diligence and sincerity as it deserves.
Hi DMarie - you're welcome. Thanks for leaving a comment and I wish you every success with your pledge.
Thanks IT Recycling. Here's keeping our fingers crossed. Thanks for dropping in here and saying hello.
We have so much rubbish every 2 weeks our bins are full up! We do the usual recycling the cardboard, tins, plastic and glass but I hadn't really thought about all the rest.
This is now my challenge..wish me luck!
Well it's a really worthy challenge, and thank you for taking it. Good luck and do keep us updated.
This is a great idea - I saw your post on BMB today and I have made my pledge and made a blogpost about it as well.
Nothing like spreading the word!
I really like your blog as well - I am off to do some more reading now
Many thanks
Anthony :)
