Sach-ing out...

After the final no there comes a yes / And on that yes the future world depends.
(Wallace Stevens)

I like the thinking of sustainability economist Jeff Sachs, although he glosses over the Dalian paradox (how can you continue to have physical economic growth on a finite planet in perpetuity?); his thinking is clear, his message positive, and in particular, he cuts through the crap.

I'm all about cutting crap. Just ask the C.R.A.P. Crew.

To see what all the fuss is about, read the Grauniad interview here.

I'm sorry to have to say that the number of spam comment postings has required that we turn off anonymous comment posting. There's been a massive boom in what seems like computer-automated spam comments with links to web pages that advertise cheap, nasty, bad-for-you products, mostly cigarettes.

From now on, you'll have to be a registered user to comment on this blog.

If you had something you wanted to say, but really didn't want your name attached to it for some good reason, you should email Mick at mwomersley@unity.edu

I'll protect your confidentiality and post your comment for you.
