It just goes to show the power of the individual to make a difference. So don’t be tempted to think that the environmental crisis is so hopelessly huge that anything you do is but a drop in the ocean.

[P.S. My own news: I arrived in San Jose, California, last night, to give a presentation today for Brocade, my title sponsors. Compared with the 900-strong sales conference a few weeks ago, this one had a relatively small live audience of a couple of hundred, but was available to another 2500 or so via live webcast.
My theme on this second anniversary of the date I set out across the Atlantic? Facing big challenges, how to keep going when the going gets tough, and recognizing that getting outside your comfort zone is (duh!) uncomfortable – but that the good news is that when you feel that discomfort, you know you’re doing the right thing, because you’re stretching yourself and pushing your limits.]
