Tom sets the bar high

Tom Blees set the bar high in the opening chapter of his 2008 book, “Prescription for the Planet”.

"Prescription for the Planet"
 author, Tom Blees, speaking
 during a visit to Austtralia.

In the chapter, “A world of hurt”, Blees said:

"What we are faced with at the dawn of the twenty-first century is a struggle for our very survival, but that struggle is not against some hostile outside force. It is against our own institutions, our own inertia, a dearth of imagination, a fear of change and a selfish timidity on the part of our leaders”.

Those who gather Beneath the Wisteria  to consider a response to climate change face, considering the views of Blees, a significant challenge.
