Gaia weds in Canada

John Elkington · 27 April 2014 · Leave a Comment

Elaine, Hania, Jake (Lushington) and I flew to Toronto a few days back for Gaia’s wedding to Paul Eros. Some felt that her having one god’s name was enough, but two seems the perfect balance. In the interest of brevity and catching up with this blog stream, I will simply run a number of photographs of  the festivities, to give a sense of what made it one of the absolute highlights of my life to date. But one of the unforgettable moments was seeing beaver dams for the first time, another catching up with Doug and Margot Miller (he of GlobeScan). The ultimate joy, though, was seeing Gaia and Paul so happy in each other’s company.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
