What are you experiencing? What changes? Global warming? Wet weather?

 What have you done, seen done? In my lifetime I have seen the changes in cities, more traffic, changes, to more vehicles, diesel, electric, hybrid. Pedestrianisation.

What more would you like to do? What has been a success?

 Planting food?

UK

Disposing of food. Composting, an old idea.  In London we have added brown bins for garden waste. Black food bins and smaller black kitchen tabletop bins.

Travel

I have moved back and forth, between Singapore, and London, taking long distance flights. I now know flights are bad for the environment, if we allow too many. 

Tourism

I have seen the growth of hotels, also home swaps for holidays.

What do you know now that you did not know previously? 

Sleeping on a plane

Make your own list of what you need on the plane, ranging from old newspapers and magazines or books you want to read, to water bottles.

Always take your own travel eye mask in economy, and a neck pillow.

Don't sleep with legs or arms over your arm into the aisle. Trolleys, bump you. So do people. It really annoys the airline stewards.

Keep food and water with you, not in a travel bag which they will persuade you to put in the overhead locker.
