OK, I’m posting an essay on Green/ish Culture I wrote for the May 2009 issue of the Bulgarian magazine Manager. Sorry English-language speakers – my previous post should give you some idea of the ground covered here. (You could also try Google Translate for what it’s worth.)
The end of November. Sofia, Bulgaria. I should be wearing a sweater underneath a zipped-up parka. A woolen hat, mittens perhaps. It used to snow here in November – a few centimeters, no more, the pleasant foreplay of winter, but enough for all the horned up skiers and snowboarders to start waxing their toys, glancing up occasionally at the white, diaphanous lingerie of nearby Mount Vitosha (2290 m).
