Just give five minutes to this inspiring talk by bioneer Paul Hawken:

The recent snow affected most of us in one way or another. Interestingly, I was running a Permaculture Diploma tutor training event on the outskirts of London when much of it fell. I thought the possibility of being snowed in inside the M25 rather ironic, given how much I avoid going there. Mind you, who [...]
This short but interesting video is at first just funny, but then makes an important point about how quickly movements can gather pace.
