Mark Bachelder (pictured) orchestrates the community calls for the Foundation for Climate Restoration from his home in California, reaching out to the world.

I met Mark by chance and in an illustration of how small the world is, he and a recent guest on this podcast, Osprey Orielle Lake, know each other well.

Mark is interested in climate matters and sees much of the solution to the present dilemma to be found through conversation and during our chat, I alerted him to the six-week series being organized by the Melbourne-based Conversation at the Crossroads - "Ethics in Turbulent Times: How to Bring Society to Higher Ground".
