Dear
Reader,
|
|
‘The earth is in its
mid-life crisis,’ said Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever and
ultimate proponent of ‘business as a force for good’ this week at
the launch of another sustainability champion, Diana verde
Nieto’s book Reimagining Luxury (read her essay for us
on the subject here).
Lucky us – what a time to be alive and be able to reimagine the
next 4.5 billion years (before the world really will be extinct).
As Polman pointed out, the damage we’ve wrought upon the planet
since the Industrial Revolution took about a minute if you look
at it in these terms. Could we therefore spend a minute on
recognising what’s gone wrong, adapting, changing and innovating
for a great second half? I should think so. We’re pretty damn
creative and most people are pretty damn good. We, says Polman, just
have to take responsibility, have high ambitions and collaborate.
Have a great week.

New Issue Alert

Transformation comes in many guises. Our latest
issue of C&TH examines the theme, from rewilding in Transylvania

water-cooler moment. This show has kept me properly excited
throughout a long January – and I want to know everything
(especially if Harry trips over his overblown confidence). Here are the secrets
we’ve found out…
