Croeso!

To those of you are visiting my blog because you have become concerned about climate change and might want to do something about it my intention is to try and explain some of the biggest and most recent debates going on in the environmental movement in a simple but comprehensive way so that you can have a sufficient base of knowledge to form your own opinions and educate others.

I’ll also give you my story: what I’m doing in trying to lead by example and trying to change the environmental status quo. I’m a young Welsh Woman interested in environmental and social justice policies, currently based in the Middle East.

Planet earth: your home, your history and your legacy. Be struck by its beauty, excuse the preachy ending, but be inspired.

Hiraeth: A Crisis of Place

ah. I am sitting writing this in the dark of a neighbourhood power cut, some of the first of those predicted for the summer months here in Egypt. Feels familiar from my stay in Lebanon.

But really what am I doing here? The last couple of days I lost my sense of place. Which, when you’re in a foreign country and are not here for ‘travelling’, means more than just losing your way on a map, it feels a lot like losing your mojo.

Talking Tactics : What’s in a vision?

Vision
What does that word mean to you? My instinct these days would be to think of the supernatural.
But no, it is not to the supernatural that I refer; it is to the blue-sky thinking, soul-driving, passion-making, enthralling third space of visioning your ideas, ethics, projects and desires intertwining in one heady projection. It is the (sometimes) dangerously infectious picture of what it is you want to achieve.

what am I doing here in Egypt?

A good question, seeing as I show no sign of leaving, what exactly am I doing here now that the UN Climate Negotiations in Qatar are over?
I am attempting to start a project up here, the brief of which I write below. Any contacts, ideas or feedback always welcome, just comment on this post.
