Out at Kuala Lumpur International Airport after a high-energy flying visit, mainly for the Bayer MaterialScience Project SunRise launch and meetings (see previous entry), but also with a wonderful session at the KL Impact Hub, co-hosted by Christopher Erichsen and Shariha Khalid of the the Scope Group.

Fascinating to see how the Hub movement has spread – I was one of 12 inaugural members/Fellows back in the day when it was just opening the King’s Cross Hub in London, under the guiding hand of Jonathan Robinson.

Loved the enthusiasm, energy and humour of the participants in the Impact Hub session – and some great questions in the discussion period. another reminder of just how lucky I have been to be able to surf these consecutive waves of social and environmental activism and entrepreneurship. Intrigued to see the MIT Technology Review running its latest survey of 10 breakthrough technologies – bought it to read on the plane. Selection ranges from Google’sProject Loon and supercharged photosynthesis through to megascale desalination.

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.
