Sitting in my back room talking to a laptop for hours isn’t normally considered a sane thing. I justify this bizarre behaviour by churning out bite-sized audio files every half hour or so in the belief that there might be some people who want to hear my voice* reading bits from my book: the really important bits that I think people should be hearing again and again. Hence, podcasts.
I’ve finished off the main parts of the “solution” (Chapter 16) and also the reasons that we have allowed such horrible things to happen to the Earth and ourselves (Chapter 13), and published them in the A Matter Of Scale podcast feed, which you can click on below. They may even appear on iTunes, if they don’t get banned!
Here’s the link to the feed:

If you have Firefox then you can pop it on your RSS bar and, who knows, I may do some more soon.
(*Sorry, I don’t have a voice like Sean Connery or Hugh Grant, but who knows what you might think of it…)
The idea “small is beautiful” is not a new notion; the adoption of such an idea leads to sustainable behavior. Surely the reasonable and sensible embrace of a “beautiful, low-consumption lifestyle” for the sake of a better life for a democratic majority of people; for the promotion of global biodiversity; for the protection of the environment; and for the preservation of Earth as a fit place for human habitation, could be one of the most powerfully sustainable and immediately effective behavioral changes the leaders of the family of humanity have made in a very long time.
