Hi Anna,

Thanks for sharing all this work and reflection publicly. I’m currently on the management committee (board) of Northey Street City Farm, an incorporated association. I will share your piece with the other MC members. In your research did you come across other materials that could be useful for board members, eg: secretary, treasurer, general member?

I hope the handover goes smoothly. What’s next for you?

Cheers,
Murray

Thanks for this Anna. Though I didn’t know Aaron, I’ve been struck by the tributes that have been pouring out from so many people and outlets. It’s weird to think how much I owed Aaron without realising it. It’s tragic that he’s gone.

Anna, It seems like you travel quite a bit–and often by air. Given the huge carbon footprint of air travel, how do you justify this behavior? It seems like you could do a lot by setting an example and staying put! Here are some articles that discuss this:

“You know those places, and people, that call to you in a way that you and those around you will never understand? That’s how I have felt about Antarctica. Since forever.”

Ditto. The one place on earth I’d most like to go. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Bon voyage, Anna, you are an absolute inspiration. I enjoyed your Madlands book, very educational in making a very complex issue accessible to laypeople. I would love to share with you, at some time, some work I did on Gaia and climate change back in 2008. Hope you have a great time over Christmas and New Year period “down there”.
