Bill Harvey: The Green Manalishi

It is three weeks since I asked for any justifiable reason why anyone working in primary eye care practice should not have to maintain an up-to-date vaccination record, in the same way as taking all other measures to minimise the threat of cross-contamination. No responses so far.

I was beginning to worry that this column might only be read by my brother and my mum. But this week, my worries have been assuaged. It seems that our sustainability-themed issue, timed to coincide with the start of the COP26 conference in Glasgow, has prompted many of you to put fingers to keyboard. Some of you were supportive of the overall tone of our features, while others expressed concerns about the potential for us offering a biased, one-sided view. Keep the messages coming as this is an important discussion.
