Just back from the Cultures of Sustainability event in Camden where staff and guess teachers from Schumacher College gathered at Cecil Sharp House to discuss issues relating to sustainable living.

This week found me at a meeting of disruptive social innovators — The Disruptors for short. According to their Facebook page:
