Welcome

With fuel and electricity prices rising regularly, and (here in South Africa) the threat of rolling blackouts if we collectively don't save enough power, it is definitely time to face the facts:

- most of us use far too much of earth's resources
- current usage is not sustainable - future generations will inherit a badly degraded planet

None of this is news to any of you, so why the blog? The blog is a place to explore ways to reduce resource consumption. Over time I hope it becomes a catalogue of resource or energy and environment saving ideas and discussion of the practical application. I am looking to showcase examples of real solutions ordinary people can do now.

Why the title? Well a resource mouse is one who uses only a tiny (mouse size) share of resources. So the blog looks for ways we can each reduce our resource footprint.

Please feel free to post constructive suggestions or questions.
