Taking positive action
Judith Mason writes about protecting the planet
I have a chronic inability to see the wood for the trees or, more accurately perhaps, express the wood for the trees. I roll around in the waves and am grateful to those who stand on firm rocks and are able to express important issues with clarity. I’m not sure which way rightness lies, however, and I write this after the strongly worded pleas, from Laurie Michaelis and Lis Burch, at Meeting for Sufferings on 7 April, for the Britain Yearly Meeting Sustainability Group to continue (see ‘The Canterbury Commitment: where do Friends go now?’, 20 April). I am not advocating laying down the group.
