Written by Matt B · first published 27/09/2008
Generally I try to keep this blog focuses directly on issues that relate to Thanet and it's bloggers. Sometimes I do well at this and sometimes what I think might be a great story goes down in a manor not unakin to that of a lead balloon. Still other times something I write is much more interesting to people outside of Thanet.
The fact of the mater is that we live in the world and although our part of that is called Thanet it might be as well to remember the wider context. As such this offering is my way of sharing content from other locations that I have written. I hope some of it is interesting for you.

In this article I explore the history and nature of the current social and economic structure and look at those of the past. My conclusions while seeming obvious came as a surprise to even me but it was the direction that this series is going in that was the biggest joy - a possible cure for poverty.

Effective Positive Personal Environmental Impact - this time I look at how we can make a difference that matters. One of the things I have come to realise is that even if the local councils arround the UK manage to force us to recycle everything the result will still be a negligable impact. So how can we make a change?
