Conferences are an opportunity to make new friends. I met Kerry Miller at the Australian Environment Foundation last weekend in Canberra and have added her blog StrangeTimes to my blog roll.
Like me Kerry is an optimist and she sees technology as a solution to many environmental problems. StrangeTimes is a group blog with a particular perspective and explains:
“We reject green ideology because it opposes rapid development, fears change and romanticises pre-industrial life. In practice, “sustainable development” sustains only poverty, malnutrion and death.”
Strong words!
Kerry and fellow blogger, David McMullen, have written a little report on the Australian Environment Foundation conference which can be read here http://strangetimes.lastsuperpower.net/?p=139
