an image from Blyth promenade provides a topical image for next week's climate change summit in Copenhagen. Whether you believe the activities of mankind affect climate change or not; we billions live on a relatively small planet and our impact on the natural world around us is severe and our voracious appetite for material trappings and lifestyles deplete finite natural resources at an ever increasing rate. We owe it to our children, grandchildren and subsequent generations to leave them a sustainable future.
