Hi, my name’s Matt. Welcome!
This is a personal blog where I intend to share my thoughts on environmental issues, spanning a range of topics including climate change, sustainability and the conservation of natural places.
Like many others, I am concerned about the deteriorating state of the natural environment at the hands of human activity. I personally want to help to do something about this.
It is hard to know where to begin in such an endeavour, but I decided that the best place to start would be to educate myself on the environmental problems I am concerned about. By sharing my journey – what I have learned, what I think, and what actions I am taking, hopefully I can bring value to others as well.

A particular focus of this blog will be to address arguments against action on environmental issues. This results from a personal frustration from having discussions with people with opposing views and finding that I wasn’t always able to articulate my arguments clearly, or recall the necessary facts mid-conversation.
By writing posts to address these arguments, I aim to provide clear, easy-to-remember counter-arguments that you can use when you find yourself in similar discussions. If you happen to be reading this blog and you are opposed to environmental action, then I hope to provide a different and well-reasoned perspective.
