Hello - Glad I found you!

I am a 'fifty-something' from Worcestershire who believes we need to take much more care of our environment and especially our disappearing wildlife. This week I have (hopefully) completed a BSc with the Open University - for 'fun' - some people think I'm a masachist! This year I did Oceanography - last year Environmental Science - great courses and I learned a lot. I've just started putting together a website about things I care about - not highly scientific - I want everyone to have a bit more knowledge and then maybe together we can slow-down climate change.

Look forward to reading posts here.

All the best

Precious...
but not as precious as our globe

Re: Hello - Glad I found you!

Hello Precious, you seem a very busy person with all your interests, making your own website will be time consuming but very rewarding. Good luck with that and your studies. Welcome to WAB - I will see you around .
