John Elkington

We are what we read, they say, and sometimes it’s true.

Just notified about a new series of Neste interviews on what we read.

Mine here: https://lnkd.in/ePWHkEWw.

Marcius Extavour here: https://lnkd.in/eiqSQcpQ.

And Geoffrey Weston‘s here: https://lnkd.in/eQM3dUcq.

All members of the Neste advisory council on sustainability and new markets, which I chair.

Happy holidays and new years, all.

Probably my last interview of 2022. Recorded some time back, but only just out via ROAD: http://roarnews.co.uk/2022/roar-interviews-environmentalist-and-author-john-elkington/.

For more on this post I just did for the International Society of Sustainability Professionals (ISSP), see here.

Clear evidence today that Elaine is enjoying herself with Hania in Bordeaux. Left at home, I had a couple of people from the Volans ecosystem across yesterday afternoon, then today had lunch at the Church Road restaurant with an old SustainAbility colleague and friend, Tell Münzing, who these days lives in Berlin. He picked an interesting American wine, Stem Theory, which we both rather enjoyed.

In other news, after quite some time, the three small fish we put into our new garden pond finally made an appearance today, moving around as a tight-knit trio. But then, when we got back from lunch, I discovered that the water level in the pond had fallen by almost a foot, perhaps suggesting a leak in the pump – which I turned on today for the first time to oxygenate the water.

Life, as always, is full of ups and downs : )

Wonderful to do my annual session with Cranfield masters students this afternoon, hosting them at Somerset House. They were guided across town from an earlier visit to Grant Thornton by David Grayson, an Emeritus Professor at Cranfield these days, who I last saw a few days back at Anthropy 2022. As a Visiting Professor at Cranfield, I have been doing these sessions for quite some years, but this was probably the liveliest group yet.
