I’ve been offline for a little while… well, I was on holiday for two weeks and then when I got back I couldn’t get into my website to administer it.  The daily sustainable development news has been continuing but I have been busy with trying to get the website up and running again.  So I’m back but I’ve had to start from scratch – my posts and news archive are gone but I’m rebuilding.

In the interests of posterity, thought I would copy my first post from 22 February 2014, when I first got online… a very exciting moment…

“I’ve done it… I’ve created my own website! If you’ve stumbled across this site, welcome to my life of contradictions 😀

I’m working on how to use the web publishing software and then will come the content so please check back in a little while if you’re interested in what I have to say, starting with…

This site is dedicated to sustainable development and the interesting and difficult path that we must take to get there.

Many of us are concerned about how we are living on our planet. The sheer number of people consuming huge amounts of resources seems, and is, unsustainable. Most of us would like to live a life a good life with a good standard of living and we would like our descendants to also be able to live well. But the journey to sustainability is complicated; there are so many decisions to make about how to live our lives and so many issues to consider that inevitably there are contradictions in what we do…

I would like to explore how we can limit the contradictions and live a better life, together.”

Between stimulus and response there is a space.  In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.
