So here I am. I navigated the Tube successfully and with much help from my new friend Alex I made it to Southampton in one piece, albiet a little shorter because my pack feels so damn heavy. The buildings are beautiful and the people very friendly... I think I'm starting to ask questions in an English accent already. So far I've done nothing more than slept and been to 'work' at ABP, but I feel oddly calm and contented.
I am struck mostly by the culture here as it applies to Sustainability. Suddenly I'm no longer the tree-hugging environmentalist.... I'm normal. Imagine that! My 'induction' this morning began with a statement from my other new friend Liz, who said "well this slide is a little redundant... of course we all know why we have to be more sustainable.... we certainly can't carry on the way we have been." I wonder how so many North Americans missed the memo?
