Quote last Yaldor post: "We have asked Yaldor's current host to send a picture to proof his arrival." Today his current hosts Peter & Corrie reacted by sending us a picture on witch Yaldor appears to be in good health. Our HERO has endured his Sri Lanka adventure heroically.

Yaldor has returned! Hurrah for our first official HERO!

The GnomeDiaries Team — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:41:20 +0000

Yesterday we received a little e-mail that claims that our first international and intercontinental travelling gnome Yaldor has returned back home to Holland from his first dangerous mission to “Save our Climate". We have asked Yaldor's current host to send a picture to proof his arrival.

Yaldor has returned! Hurrah for our first official HERO!

Yaldor Sri Lanka report: household solid waste environmental issues

Melvin Janssen, Kallabongo Lake resort in Hikkaduwa - Sri Lanka — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:00:00 +0000

Hi there! I’m still in Sri Lanka and have seen a lot in the past year. I think it is time to meet a new host so I can travel to another place. Last time I’ve informed you about several environmental projects, run by Sri Lanka’s government. Today I will tell about solid waste of households.

Olim is still roaming in Texas and has been spotted by Charlie Pierce living in Waco (TX) on April 19th 2009. Hopefully the next update will include an episode of his ‘Save the Climate’ adventure and some pictures.

Everybody can combat climate change

Jeroen van Oosterhout - GnomeDiaries Team Member — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:00:00 +0000

Didn’t one of your parents taught you to stop spoiling water when you where brushing your teeth being young? Well if they did, they were not called environmentalists because of that. To combat climate change is easier and closer than you might think! Maybe you’re just not aware that you are already doing it …

Happy New Year; Fireworks Contribute to Environmental Pollution!

The GnomeDiaries Team — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 00:00:00 +0000

It’s almost the end of the year. Time to celebrate the end of the old year and the beginning of a new one. In many countries traditionally using fireworks is the way to celebrate that the New Year has started.

Did you know that fireworks are very polluting!

Melvin Janssen, Kallabongo Lake resort in Hikkaduwa - Sri Lanka — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 23:00:00 +0000

It has been quiet a long time since I’m in Sri Lanka. Sorry that I didn’t inform you earlier, but I needed quiet some time because Sri Lanka is a country with such diversity in nature.

Surely you're using public transport?

Christer Lindqvist, Stockholm - Sweden — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:39:45 +0000

Kolden's been staying with me for a couple of weeks now and it's about time you got an update! The one thing that has bothered us the most over these weeks is the apparent lack of insight that has afflicted so many of my fellow Swedes taking their cars to work.

Reusing bags in Seattle, the big city!

May 1st 2008. Good evening, Had another busy day. In the true Pacific Northwest style I needed some good coffee to get me going so a quick fix of caffeine from Olympia's local roaster got me humming nicely.

Solar powered garden lights

Willem van Zon, Zwolle - The Netherlands — Sat, 03 May 2008 23:00:00 +0000

I received Kolden some days ago. I think that this is a great initiative to confront people to live a more durable live. I have bought solar powered garden lights and installed them together with Kolden into my garden.

A cool spot in the midst of Global Warming

Mathias Eichler - einmaleins, Olympia, WA - U.S.A. — Thu, 01 May 2008 22:33:44 +0000

March 6th 2008. Yesterday we saw, like a lot of vacationers like to do, Yaldor reading a book. It appears to be “THE KYOTO PLOT” written by Ruben van Dijk, first book of a new Dutch genre called eco-thrillers that was recently started by publisher A.W. Bruna in the Netherlands.
