Our integrated approach to the delivery of M&E services is designed to deliver the best possible results.

On the other hand, how can I encourage, debate or support others to reduce their emissions without being willing to act and experience the process myself.Taking the wood out of my own eye before I try to take it out of the eyes of others..

The answer, I feel, to the limitation of an individual impact is multiplication.Multiplying each effect by ten, by a thousand, by a million, etc.Through support and work with organisations which advocate for change, apply pressure and do positive things at scale.

I can make choices about what I do and buy and communicate those choices.These actions get us to the 100s may be the 1,000s.

To get further though I need to be involved in the leadership of change.

By leadership, I do not mean getting others to do things..To survive and exploit this, we needed to be able to travel, develop technologies (fire and tools), problem solve, and adapt.

Homo erectus, our earlier cousin, could do all these things and spread out globally surviving and developing for a million years.Interestingly, Homo sapiens, us, developing later and in parallel were a bit smaller.

The current view is that the advantage was size and reduced testosterone leading to less aggression and the ability to create and work in large social groups.. Mammals, themselves really came into their own after the last mass-extinction event some 65 million years ago.They were overall much smaller than the dominant animals - the dinosaurs - and their size and adaptability is seen as a key feature for their survival and thriving.. Moving away from the natural world into the world designed by Homo sapiens, there is a very different approach to scale.
