It's holiday season here in northern Europe. Hence regular contributors are a tad thin on the ground at the mo. The Greenpeace blog godfather, Gillo, is touring Tuscany for two weeks, him of the literary references, Brian, is chilling out with the family in New York State, former desk bound colleague and forest activist extraordinaire, Tracy, is sailing up the Amazon (lucky bugger) so out of blog range. So I'm afraid that leaves just my occasional ramblings and maybe some contributions from Trina down under?
