One of the interesting parts of my job at Greenpeace is the amount of time I spend out of the office meeting passionate people, who care enough about Greenpeace's vision of a green and peaceful future, to volunteer some of their time to do something about it. It might involve getting up at stupid o'clock on a Saturday morning, and crawling home after dark, but it beats a meeting in the office hands down.
In this instance, on a sunny day in Bournemouth, 30+ of us spent the day inside sharing skills, ideas, enthusiasm and of course the latest update about Greenpeace campaigns. Not to mention the special guest from Greenpeace China, Yifang talking about how campaigning on the other side of the world is a very different proposition indeed, and the local MP talking about what it's like to be on the other side of the lobbying table.
So a huge thank-you to everyone involved in organising the day, if you have any comments or reflections then please post them below, and I'll try and collect together some of the notes from the workshops, also as comments below.
