Three or four environmental concerns I’m interested in?
I live less than 100m away from the banks of the upper Ure, a river that becomes the Ouse and flows through York. Flooding, and what can be done about it is an interest to me
I have 2 teenage boys, the world in which they grow up in is very different and faster changing than mine. I want to understand near future issues like climate change so I can guide and advise them through this period and maybe (if the accept I’m not a decrepit old hasbeen by then) into their 20’s
I n appealed that climate change will affect the people that did the least to contribute to it and want to know what part I can play to redress that balance.
I am mainly influenced by the news, but I do like to dig deeper and to challenge superficial reports. I consider myself to be more interested in the truth and pragmatism than ideology. That in itself can bring me into conflict with some of my peers...
I am concerned about the current state of affairs. If some people are prepared to say goodby to everything they know and embark on a dangerous journey to start a new life in a hostile environment, then I want to know the driving force. And how I can help.
