Dr Haydn Washington (pictured) once wanted to put rockets on the moon, but he was only eight years old and life took him in a whole new direction enabling him to learn about the wonders we have here on Earth.

The University of New South Wales adjunct lecturer has dedicated his life to making this a better place to live and sees those improvements coming through, among other things, our attention to the world's economic systems and so is involved with The New Economy and the Centre for the Advancement of the Steady State Economy.

It was the 2011 book "Climate Change Denial: Heads in the Sand" that sparked my interest in Dr Washington, but he has written many others, the most recent being: "Ecoreciprocity: Giving Back to Nature".

Another relatively recent book by Dr Washington is "Ecological Economics: Solutions for the Future".

Enjoy "Music for a Warming World".
