Starting anew
Belated Happy New Year! This blog has been going on for some time now but this is the first post about a new year. Did you stay up on new year’s eve to ring in the changes? If you did then quite possibly your new year’s eve might have been spent playing board games in […]
Fuelling changing social practices – music to our ears?
Imagine this scenario. You are driving up in your car, doing your daily jobs, and then realise you are running low on fuel. So you take the nearest opportunity to fill up as you drive up to a petrol station – it may even be part of your local supermarket. Would you expect to pay […]
Population growth, by another name
Here’s a question you may not have the direct answer to – when is world’s population expected to reach nine billion?
