So you’ve been lucky and  managed to snaffle some first land, and want a nice shiny new pad to live in but you don’t have much linden to spare?  Fear not, you can get a beautifully designed uber trendy eco home for absolutely NUFFINK!  I’m not joking! Pop over to ‘The Big Green Switch Eco Emporium’ and not only can you get a free house from a selection of  equally lovely properties, but you can get a wind turbine, composter, wormery..everything you need to make your avatar’s residence as eco friendly as your own in RL.  In fact, for a mere L$3000 you can also carbon offset your avatar for the next 12 months! SERIOUSLY!  The monies generated are converted into RL currency and the dosh goes towards tree planting schemes in the UK, and you also get some rather gorgeous trees exclusively designed for the cause to landscape your land with:) We all have a huge impact on the environment so becoming eco-aware is an absolute must. Think of all the power your PC consumes while you’re exploring the metaverse, and then think of how many people are in SL at any one time (about 55000)and you start to see how much energy we all consume, and consequently the impact that this will have on the planet. The Big Green Switch Eco Emporium brings that message into the metaverse in a fun and brilliantly designed way, and it really does encourage you to want to do your bit. Check out the website too!
I’m off to get my goodies, I hope to see you there!(I was going to do some landscaping soon anyway, so these freebies will help!)
