Some updates and very interesting reading

I have already three weeks in Bucharest and it feels like three days...I am still accommodating with the new job, the new responsibilities and work environment. Already started with several presentations in the country on the topic of sustainable development, some seminars and conferences, planning and continuing different initiatives...quite exciting altogether!

Trying to accommodate with the city, searching for a place to stay...have one now:):) and trying to connect with old/ new friends. Slowly I am getting there and going over that period of 'how nice it was in Amsterdam...' and keep it in my heart as a beautiful memory, but move on - in this new present.

I am trying to allocate time to continuously read on sustainability on different perspectives to keep myself up to date; in this context I have just read a very interesting study about sustainable consumption "I will if you will" and I recommend it; some very nice insights about the role of different actors to make a difference (companies, government and individuals), also about the barriers and solutions for change in individual behavior and some long term challenges in connection with consumption and sustainable development.
