2009 - one for the history books

All years are part of history but some stand out more than others - the years when countries announced independence, and the years when some great achievement happened. In a family, we remember the special years when life changed and we look back on our personal achievements at those times. My wish and personal New Years Resolution is that we, as a planet, will look back on 2009 as the turning point in the struggle for the health of our planet.

My hope is that we make the tough decisions to love our global home and that we each resolve to do everything we can to ensure that this planet is functional when we hand it to the next generations. I am heartened by the new global politics the land of the United, and about the people that are being chosen by soon to be President Obama, people like Obama's new science adviser John Holdren, and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Steven Chu. And hopeful that we in Australia are also making what seems like small steps in the same direction.

In this next year, I intend to focus more on entrepreneurship in Cleantech in Australia, to support and promote those who will drive the changes that we need, and my revamped GoBizGreen site now reflects this.
Thanks for reading this blog in 2008, and for 2009 I wish Health and Happiness for You and Your Family and for Our Shared Home.
