A month or so ago, I was in Geneva at a conference, organised by Richard Allaway and colleagues at the International School of Toulouse. I blogged about it at the time.
Here's me on the conference panel, in the middle. Second left is the Guardian journalist
Leo Hickman. He was keynoting the event. The evening before the conference we went out for a meal and some local wine, and he mentioned that the day before he had been interviewing the legend that is
James Lovelock.
I remember reading 'Gaia' over twenty five years ago, when I first started teaching. I have a heavily-annotated copy on my shelves.
The interview was published this weekend, and can be read
HERE. Lovelock makes a useful point about the city of Singapore, and the issue with 'sustainable development'.
If you are still interested in teaching about the idea of sustainability despite that, there is a useful game that is available as a free download from the site of the
EDF or Environmental Defense Fund.
It's called
GO FISH, NO FISH. You can download the game, and associated resources in PDF format from the link.
They have developed a new project called TRICKY TRAWLING.
