Herewith I offer a short update on the latest in my universe. After visiting Valencia, Spain we came home to a windy Uppsala. The sun is glorious enough to see the seedlings coming up and the potatoes making swift progress. I continue experimenting with the garden and the herbs are doing well. It is certainly a culinary delight to collect fresh oregano for the salads.
During the first half of last week I attended the Challenging (Un)certainties The Future of Education and Sustainability Conference hosted by CEMUS, CSD at Uppsala University. (There are a number of pieces waiting for electronic capture and hopefully enough to make up for every day I did not post). I am captured by ideas or catch phrases captured in the corners of my notebook. 'The ecology of money', 'the de'growth movement'... I certainly have to explore these concepts... more learning!
Don't play
Innocent
In the climate game
We are all tainted
Global Environmental systems
Not the perfect
Picture
Life sustainability
Rife with disparity
Don't play
Unfairly
In the societal development game
Physics progressive
In economics the game remains the same
Assumptions always at play
Disciplinary bipolarity
Knowledge hunters
Never stop
Battling for clarity
Don't play
All knowing
Critical thinking
Gradually showing
New concepts blinking
The academic endeavour
Pristine - Never
Dissenting voices growing
Grassroots offering now choices
Traditional to conventional
Society always caught on the back leg
