Two years ago the buzz words were climate change, global warming and Al Gore…

Now we’re inundated with references to credit crunch, global financial crisis, regulation and the worlds worst depression since the last great depression…

The global financial crisis is a truth that we’re not quite feeling yet over in Australia.. there’s alot of talk, but nothing visibly out of the ordinary… and climate change.. well, as we sit in the comfort of our climate-controlled offices its not difficult to forget about how our Pacific neighbours are quickly (relatively speaking) and literally sinking.

I’ve got a lot to say on this battle of economics and the environment.. and probably alot more to learn. But a letter just landed on my desk that starts this debate of far better than I could. Its an article written by our highly regarded Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Have a read of it here. Then we can discuss.

You can also see the debate we’re currently having over on the Reckitt Benckiser LinkedIn  page.
