I have been working in businesses and initiatives related to climate change and biodiversity for 25 years or so. Wrote a book called Climate Change for Football Fans. Currently I am working on a business I co-founded called Planet League which uses the power of football to mobilise fans to live greener.  I have a blog www.thebustard.com but don't write it any more. The older stuff in it is ok though.

I'm interested in a range of things related to these topics like the psychology and sociology of environmental issues; how in practice, step-by-step, you wind down the economy; the relationship between mental and physical health and how we harm the environment (inspired by Dr Gabor Maté); cleverer and cheaper ways of doing things (inspired by Hillary Cottam's Radical Help); how you bring the best out of Conservatism for the sake of our society and the planet; keeping fossil fuels in the ground and the work of Dr David Ko; dealing with the crisis of the surface micro layer ... etc. And how all this fits together...
