Bill Harvey: Big yellow taxi

Hats off to ABDO for its excellent Social, Ethical and Environmental (SEE) working group. Last night, I watched the inaugural SEE Summit on the Environment and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Efforts to raise awareness of just how serious the climate crisis is are still being stifled, both in the media and by commercial interests that for too long have relied upon a consumerism at complete odds with sustainability. Only today, with the UK governing party holding its annual conference, the only discussion in the news relating to the ongoing environmental collapse is of how best to restrict environmental campaigners; both in Manchester and at the forthcoming Conference of the Parties (COP) climate change summit in Glasgow next month. It is as if many people have yet to realise that we are already past a point of no return and are well into a damage limitation phase.
