Who is EtCeteraBilly?

By expressing my opinions directly I hope to inspire others to see things from a different perspective

I’m a recently retired architect who is interested in travel, photography, music, visual art, architecture, dance, staying fit, ice skating, bike riding, hockey, and good pescatarian food. I’ve had a lifetime of observing and thinking about human behaviour. Some of my observations are a little eccentric. I want people to think more deeply about our world and their lifestyle.

I’m deeply concerned about the climate emergency and very frustrated that so little is being done to address it. As a moderately affluent Canadian, I recognize that my carbon footprint is bigger than most people in the world. This fact will remain true regardless of the personal lifestyle decisions I make. Nevertheless, I continue to try to do the right things to reduce my impact on the environment.

My aim is to communicate with honesty, authenticity, integrity and compassion. I will keep it simple, but not simplistic. My expectation for this blog is that I will learn at least as much from my readers as they learn from me.

All of the photos featured are mine.
