That’s it, decision made. Don’t know why it took so long really, but finally we have agreed that we won’t fly any more. I have one flight booked already for October that I am committed to, but beyond that, it is either our van, travelling by train with the Man at Seat 61, or staying at home.

I wanted to start my reflections on the ASPO conference with my thoughts on the two very distinct paradigms in evidence there.

No I didn’t get to interview him myself, Henning Drager from the Centre for Human Ecology in Edinburgh went to see Gore speaking on June 21st at the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) in London and got to ask him a couple of questions. Gore’s talk was called “Earth in the Balance Sheet” and was attended by over 500 people.
