Pick of the Bunch

This headline could apply to many things in
this significant issue.  The first: one
of the finest men who has left an indelible and sustainable mark on this earth.
Ray Anderson, founder and leader of Interface, who sadly passed away earlier
this month. The pick of the bunch, certainly. Then we have, for the very first
time in the world – the 100 Global Sustain Ability Leaders. A bunch of great
people from all corners of the globe who have made their mark in their own
countries or further afield in the relatively new practice of sustainability.
Then we have an even greater selection of articles – take your pick from 15 in
all compared with the usual 13 – to mark this issue, which is our 150th since
we began in March 2008. Read all about it from Nauru, Sri Lanka, Germany, South
Africa, Brazil, Taiwan and Australia. Not forgetting the US and the UK. And for
a change, the Arctic and the Antarctic. Singapore is there of course, along
with insightful words about deniers and skeptics; green accounting, and how to make
money and do good in the world.  Added
threats to the Great Barrier Reef, too, while deforestation, forest carbon and
reforestation has a place at the table, too. A truly global issue for
globally-minded people. The time is certainly ripe…take your pick!   -  Ken
