January and February 2020 13 Note from the Editor


Welcome to our fi rst edition of 2020. I truly hope you had a fabulous 2019 and are ready to embark on a new decade.


January is a time for new beginnings and for New Year resolutions. As we ponder our goals and what we want to achieve in the year ahead my mind is deliberating a statement from one of modern times’ most profound thinkers, Mahatma Gandhi:


“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ...We need not wait to see what others do.”


This is more often abbreviated to “Be the change you want to see.”


In this fi rst address to you for 2020 perhaps you’ll grant me the freedom to go a little spiritual. Let us contemplate this thinking in its essence and, if we apply it not only to those repetitive annual resolutions such as our diet, fi tness and wellbeing, but to a wider social viewpoint, it suggests a more provocative opportunity.


Donate what you can to local food banks or give up some free time to a volunteer group. Help tree planting schemes, be kind to the vulnerable, shop ethically, eat locally produced seasonal food. If you’re fed up with litter, then pick it up. As individuals we can all have an impact on our immediate surroundings - the more ripples we create, the larger the waves.


On a global scale humanity must make some radical changes in its approach to environmental and social cultural thinking. These have to start somewhere, so why not the Isle of Wight?
