Reef madness

The imminent total destruction of the world's coral reefs is not a scare story but a fact says George Monbiot.

Trails of destruction

High on the flanks of Coniston Old Man, the guidebooks would have us believe, is a sheep-nibbled path flecked with speedwell and tormentil, gracefully snaking its way towards the felltop.

The Val d'Anniviers, a steep Y-shaped cul-de-sac off the Rhone valley, is the sort of place wandering tribes stumble across and get lost in. The Celts did, so did the Barbarians, Huns and Burgonds. And so did I.

To serve and protect

Madyan, Pakistan, Friday I am sitting on the verandah, on a crisp and sunny morning, looking at the mountains, and thinking about going home. I have been sitting on the verandah looking at the snowy mountains for almost a fortnight.

Pigment of the imagination

'Y e-e-s," says Chris, my painting tutor. "Very, ummm, very powerful. Ummm, of course, I can see it's not meant to be realistic." He is peering a little doubtfully over my shoulder at the oil-painting pad resting on the drawing board on my knees. I am confronting a headland in Zakynthos sloping down to the aquamarine Ionian sea. Ochre-ish slab of foreground. Cumulus clearing from the cobalt sky. But, inexplicably, my sky has become darkly menacing, an oily mass hanging heavily over what might be dimly descried as a grouse moor.

Rediscover Your Roots

Ask anyone what's wrong with the consumer society and they'll almost certainly tell you that it has made people "too materialistic". We are obsessed, we're always told, with things, and our material engrossment is killing the environment, our relationships and our spiritual lives. It strikes me that precisely the opposite is true: we are not materialistic enough.
