350.org.

Have you heard of it? I hadn’t.

Last night I was sitting in the Universal Hall in the Findhorn Foundation listening to a presentation about global warming. What’s this got to do with Rich Thinking, I hear you ask? Well, I’ve posted here before about global warming and the world financial difficulties being fantastic opportunities to put thinking richly into practice. But boy, is it challenging! So anything that makes it easier is something I’m interested in.

I nearly didn’t go to this meeting, knowing how easy it is for me to slip into the black hole around this topic. But I left feeling heartened and inspired, and one of the things that was inspiring was this idea of 350.

I won’t tell you what it’s about here — just to say that if you have even the tiniest bit of interest in global warming (is it really happening? what is it anyway? why would I be interested?) then view Bill McKibben taking 350 seconds to tell you about it on

This was what most inspired me last night, and hopefully it’ll inspire you too.
