IF YOU WEREN’T A LAWYER, WHAT WOULD YOU BE?
A diplomat, negotiating international agreements and spreading my expertise and experience over a vast range of actions, from commercial policy (not forgetting environmental issues) to cultural activities.
A CRAZY AMBITION?
To have time to travel and discover distant islands far from well-trodden paths, like Sainte-Hélène or the Marquesas Islands.
GOOD DEED FOR THE PLANET?
Measuring my carbon footprint and taking practical and tangible actions to reduce it. I believe it is from taking our everyday actions as the starting point that we will change the situation, and influence public policy and political will.
