Today we know more than ever before what impact our lifestyles and consumption patterns have on our home: the Earth. Nevertheless, we keep ignoring the warning signals that Earth sends out. We keep going on like there is no tomorrow. We MUST act to stop and reverse the current trends and start taking care of our wider home as we do for our own living quarters. This blog is about how we can care for Earth and reduce our ecological footprint. Let us change our future now!

The EarthEchoes blog is going carbon neutral and so can you:
A Quote from Vice President Al Gore:
We sometimes emphasize the danger in a crisis without focusing on the opportunities that are there. We should feel a great sense of urgency because it is the most dangerous crisis we have ever faced, by far. But it also provides us with opportunities to do a lot of things we ought to be doing for other reasons anyway. And to solve this crisis we can develop a shared sense of moral purpose.
(Al Gore talking about the environmental crisis)
Personal Motto & Philosophy:
About Trond Lovdal, Blog Editor:
Hi there. I am the blog editor and creator of this blog. I have decided to make environmental work my life's purpose and career and to do my best to be a positive force and not a contributor to global climate change and biodiversity loss. I have named it EarthEchoes because I strongly believe that the global community must listen to the echoes (messages) of earth and that we all have to pull together, whether from the "developed" or "developing" part of the globe, to fight the threats to the global environment. This is one fight that MUST be fought UNITED if we are to overcome the huge challenges that global climate change and biodiversity loss represent. And that is what this blog is all about: Being a positive force in changing people's attitudes and behaviour with regards to the global environment. To learn more about me and my background visit my other blog: EarthEchoes and Trond Lovdal.
My motto is:
One life - live it! One earth - protect it!
My motto is:
