Briefly, from work:

"From work" means "from the office of the International Union for Conservation of Nature in Washington, D.C." It's easy to forget how exciting it is to be here, though that sounds strange - here, on the third floor of an innocuous office building near Dupont Circle, so much passes, so much thinking is done. And I am here, passing, thinking.

A lot happened to me, environmentally speaking, over this past year. My focus widened, my frameworks grew feedbacks. I'm still on about ag, especially in America, and all those other sustainability issues that are so American in their high-income focus, but there is quite a lot more to all this. There is a world of hurt and a world of potential.

You'll hear about that in time. For now: thanks for being here. I hope you're keeping up on Waxman-Markey. I know we all are.
