We meet Con the Fruiterer at a Sustainability Conference



What a surprise to get an email from Mark Mitchell, aka Con The Fruiterer, at the Business Council for Sustainable Energy conference last week. He didn't know we'd be there. We didn't know he'd be there. Mark has been part of our Inspired Circle
of Friends ssince he got in touch with us about Adoptasheep several months ago and we discovered that he is a gifted inventor/engineer in the sustainable energy space.



Con had a lot of very serious points to make about climate change and global warming, hidden in the humour that had the room rocking for an hour. The best line of the night was his exhortation to politicians and public servants to keep producing millions of tonnes of paper reports each year and storing them in filing cabinets as they are sequestering CO2 that way.

My version of that concept is that we should be encouraging people to get fat, obese even, because they store carbon.The world should be pigging out as fast as it can.
