My name is John Bell. I have been a Project Manager in the rail industry, am a father, and climate change activist. I’m following my heart to attempt to make a difference in the world – hopefully for the better, hopefully I’ll succeed.
After much deliberation and consultation, I have concluded that the most fruitful way for me to make a difference in our response to climate change is to:
- Work within my local town of Berkhamsted, UK, to show what is possible and help people get over their inertia about tackling the problem. I will do this with Transition Town Berkhamsted, with whom I am the currently elected Co-leader.
- Engage with wider organisations and initiatives to fit in with the wider picture and to encourage the formation of a definitive, known source of information for the layman on the scientific reality of climate change and our response to it.
- Publicise my attempts and achievements via this blog and other means.
To follow my adventure, follow this blog, or follow me on Twitter or Facebook.
To get in touch, e-mail me at jubble@hotmail.co.uk (don’t ask – nickname from school), or comment. I’d love to hear from you. If you want to speak with me, please call me on +447811379938.
Hello John – I read your article on the RTCC website and was quite impressed, and a little excited, too. We have similar stories it seems. I had a career in the computer business, then started my own small business which I closed in order to join the fight against climate change. The path I chose was to return to school and get a degree in environmental studies, then take my fight out to the world. I am currently attending U.C. Berkeley in California, USA and will finish my studies in International Environmental Politics in May 2014. I have signed to to follow your work and will be very interested in seeing how your endeavor proceeds. I am strategizing even now on how I might enter and join the fight to save the environment. Best of luck!! John
Thanks for getting in touch,John. Maybe when you are ready we could discuss how we could help each other?
