Smaller Earth UK There are any number of reasons for wanting to take a gap year: perhaps you aren’t ready to progress straight from one course of education into the next, or maybe you’d just like to experience something a little more adventurous before settling into a full time career path. Whatever your reasons for wishing to enjoy a year out, getting a job whilst you’re travelling makes a lot of sense, and not just from a financial perspective. Smaller Earth offer a wide range of gap year programs designed to find you work opportunities overseas that will be rewarding, memorable and perhaps even life changing! Whether you’d like to live with a host family as an au pair in China to experience a completely different way of life or you fancy rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into demanding physical work in the Australian outback, or even if you just fancy an incredible summer job abroad. An action-packed gap year is quickly becoming a rite of passage.

Environmental Heresies Over the next ten years, I predict, the mainstream of the environmental movement will reverse its opinion and activism in four major areas: population growth, urbanization, genetically engineered organisms, and nuclear power. Reversals of this sort have occurred before. Wildfire went from universal menace in mid-20th century to honored natural force and forestry tool now, from “Only you can prevent forest fires!” to let-burn policies and prescribed fires for understory management. The structure of such reversals reveals a hidden strength in the environmental movement and explains why it is likely to keep on growing in influence from decade to decade and perhaps century to century. The success of the environmental movement is driven by two powerful forces – romanticism and science – that are often in opposition. There are a great many more environmental romantics than there are scientists. Take population growth. Cities are population sinks-always have been.
