As a journalist I’ve covered quite an assortment of stories, but reporting on climate change and the environment is a little different. You see, unlike most other stories, I can never completely leave this one at the office or put it away with my passport.Climate change stories are embedded in the choices I make every day.
So it’s a bit of an existential dilemma. But hey, if there’s going to be a dilemma, it might as well be existential. Why mess around with ordinary dilemmas?
When it comes to the environment, I’ve come to accept that I’m part of the problem and strangely that makes me part of the story. Actually it makes us all part of the story as we try to figure out the right solutions. And so a blog is born…
My curiosity about the planet knows no bounds, but I hope this will be place for frank discussions about how we really live on it. A place where I can admit that not so long ago I was running late for a workshop on climate change and hopped into an SUV taxi to get across town quick.
Yup. It ain’t easy being green, so why not talk about it honestly?
I hope you’ll swim along with me in this wordpress fishbowl, chime in, and ask lots of questions. Feel free to blow bubbles against the glass.
