EnviroLink Forum

I'm co-kick-starter of , a website containing opinions, links and background information on all sorts of environmental issues. It's a lot of fun to do, but man! does it absorb time.

Well, I guess I shouldn't complain. Please come and visit us, drop us a line if you have any suggestions (we are aware of the IE6 problems, we are working on a solution. All decent browsers work, however).

One of the things that hit me like a hammer was that the problems of our world are so humongous. I have been green all my life (well, at least since leaving home when I 18 years old), but I get random stomach aches when I think of the near future. I have a 6 months old son, and although a wealth of opportunities lie ahead, I feel sad about the grimness of what lies ahead.

It does motivate me to get on with my work, but I get a melancholic once in a while. For instance when I saw the devastation of the Amazon forest on Google Earth. That really got to me.

I greet you from a place that will be flooded in a few decades due to global warming.

@ irkone: add to your info that the seas will be almost empty, 40% of all species will be extinct and that the north pole will be de-iced, all around 2050, and you begin to wonder what will be left for our children.

But now more than ever, do we need to keep faith in our own resilience. We do have something to fight for.

@ Origam: Thanks!
