Oliver Benjamin Gill born 4th Nov 1961. London England Ladbroke Grove.
I had a somewhat privileged schooling, progressive and then very beautifully landscaped. Both attitudes affected environmental influences from early age. For example George Monbiot was peer at both schools. Anyway enough of that
(some bad aspects too).
1984 I was profoundly affected by Ethiopian famine, and by 1985 I had become die hard environmental activist and experimental writer on diverse subjects-flood capture irrigation, tree planting using ancestors' physical remains. Political reform through cooperation in place of confrontation.
In 2017, after 33 years petitioning mostly by mail/phone and from 2009 via social media, I was on the verge of giving up having seen all the positive steps like Rio Earth Summit, Kyoto Protocol and even Paris COP 2015 falling by the wayside. Aug 2018 Greta Thunberg stepped up and you know it shouldn't take
a kid starving herself from climate terror to break down awareness and weariness, but certainly her self acknowledged neuro diverse approach, was an assurance that it's okay, maybe a strength to have life MH issues. So big thank you and remain strength to Greta and also Sven.
Since 2018- my response to the climate crisis and ecological and social mayhem has been supercharged. Main aim wake people up, understand as much as possible, share familiar themes with in depth understanding.
Help shape a comfortable #ClimateCrisisClub and defuse difficult situations
or just join the fun, global family.

I have always been drawn to Nature: being in it and within it. I grew-up close to a suburban kind of wilderness: just outside my door was an entire landscape of natural special wonders to explore. I couldn’t quite comprehend my feelings of connectedness to Nature, (meaning the trees, hills, streams and turtles of my youth), until I stumbled upon some Native North American literature that explained how Native identities are shaped by their relationship to their local environment. This was an “aha” moment for me, which validated my blurry feelings of connection to certain places and beings. It is from this “Indigenous interrelated ecological” perspective that I try to understand the world, the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, and myself. I am here to help.
