One of my favourite columnists is the environmentalist George Monibot. He’s a rather opinionated fella (kind of helpful if you are going to write your opinions I guess) and I was particularly struck by one of his articles a few months back. I referenced the article in a piece I wrote about having a controversial KEYNOTE speaker. Basically he was saying that “environmental” conferences weren’t being very sustainable when they served meat and or fish.

It was, as it turned out, a rather ill fated wedding. My friend’s cousin was scheduled to be married that day, but her fiancé’s last-minute reconsideration left her with a booked wedding hall and no future husband.
