New job. Tar sands. Interesting list.

The end of my 4 year stint at my current employer is this Friday.
It is with sadness but an awesome amount of relief that I am looking forward to starting a new job.

Still in environmental consultancy.

How do you process the past?

Biggest thing for me is that I will be moving on to some very exciting projects with some inspirational people.

Something that also has me inspired at the moment is the current discussions around tarsands in Canada. The devastation caused to such a pristine environment is acutely embarrassing to the Canadian government. And yet they continue on developing these projects some 30 or 40 in the pipeline and they just don't seem to understand the impact that they're having not only on local water supplies but in fact potentially the planet as a whole!

Take a look at this talk from TED
