About

As an author, speaker, consultant, and occasional musical performer, travel is an unavoidable part of my professional life.

But as someone who works on the problems of global sustainability — problems like climate change, the loss of natural systems and habitats, and meeting the needs of a growing population, including equity and human rights — traveling less seems rather important.

As a father, staying home is rather important as well.

Finally, despite choosing a career that involves both travel and seeking attention, I am also a fairly private person who likes to stay home.

That’s why I finally started blogging. “AlanAtKisson.com” is a way of “getting out there” without actually getting out there.

When I do travel to consult, speak, or perform, I try to ensure that my contributions result (to the extent that I can influence the results) in an overall reduction in greenhouse gases, an overall improvement in the direction of global development … and a little more sustainability in the world.

Big ambitions, both for a person, and for a little website. But these are times that call on all of us to think big, attempt big, while keeping our impact small.

Thanks for visiting. Please point others this way. And find me on Facebook and Twitter …
